Lolita I. Livermon

Lolita Irene Livermon, affectionately known as "Sweet Lita'', departed this life on Friday, March 15, 2019 in Thomas Hospital in Charleston, West Virginia, surrounded in love and in the presence of her friend, Carol, and her sisters, Sheryl and Kim. Lita was born in Portsmouth, Virginia on January 3, 1963, to Matthew Lee Livermon, Jr., and Zertha Cornell Richardson Livermon. She attended st. Paul's Catholic School, Portsmouth and Chesapeake Public Schools, and was a 1981 graduate of Deep Creek High School. In 1980, Lita joined the Army National Guard and served her country proudly for 8 years. After her tour of service, Lita worked at several local stores and at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. She later moved to Atlanta, and in 2002 she settled in the place where she found peace, quiet, and rest in Leon, West Virginia. Always by her side was her nephew, Tyquan, whom she raised as a son from birth to adulthood. Lita held several jobs in West Virginia, most recently at Mardi Gras Casino and Resort. Lita worked hard her entire life, until she was set back by knee and hip problems requiring several surgeries, and finally by the illness that took her away from us too soon. Lita was a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan. She enjoyed teasing her Uncle Joseph (and anybody else!) about his Redskins, but she was immensely proud of her Blue and Silver! The only thing that exceeded her love of the Cowboys was her love for her family. She made many sacrifices for her family, and they were always part of her plan and her purpose. Lita was always the funniest person in the room. She could make you laugh no matter what. Whenever Lita was around, you knew you were going to have a good time. Lita was predeceased by her beloved parents and grandparents, Matthew Livermon, Jr. and Zertha Cornell Livermon, and Matthew Livermon, Sr., and Bessie Livermon, and her nephew, Carlton Simmons. She is survived by her beloved friend and companion of 17 years, Carol Smith; her son, Tyquan; sisters, Sheryl Livermon Simmons, Kim Livermon, Lisa Morrison Goodman (Alan), Carolyn Morrison-Livermon Henderson, and Andrea Whitney Scates (Jermaine); brothers, Michael Livermon and Matthew Terrell Livermon; Stepmother, Sharon Morrison Nixon; nieces and nephews, Nakeya Livermon, Deondra Livermon, Michael Livermon, Tiffani Simmons, Anthony Livermon, Diamond Simmons, Charles Livermon, and Robernaye Livermon; and extended family including three brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins, and all of her Livermon, Richardson, Walker, Winston, and Swinney family members. Rest in peace, Sweet Lita.
