Harry Lowell Levingston, 89, of Collinsville, Illinois, born May 27, 1931, to
Forrest Lowell and Harriet (nee Combs) Levingston, left this world on Wednesday,
June 17, 2020, in St. Louis, Missouri.

Harry attended Collinsville High School and joined the US Army, proudly serving
during the Korean War. After returning home, he continued working as a cement
mason and was a lifetime member of the Plasterers and Cement Masons, Local 90
in Collinsville, IL. Harry lived his life loving God and loving people. He liked
listening to KMOX radio, maintaining a backyard habitat for birds, having a meal
with family and friends at The Spring Garden Family Restaurant and going to
Woodland Park to watch the geese and ducks while enjoying Glazy Squares
Donuts with coffee. He was a part of the Collinsville First Baptist Church family
for 79 years.

In addition to his parents, Harry is preceded in death by his first wife, Bernice B.
Levingston; second wife, Janet R. Levingston; and brother, Robert J. Levingston.
Those left to cherish his memory include his daughters, Audrey (Perry) Backus of
Stevensville, Montana and Deanna (Philip) Bush of Wildwood, Missouri; sisters,
Karen (Terry) Emerson of Collinsville, Illinois and Suzy (James) Jackson of
Collinsville, Illinois; grandchildren, Alyse (Mike) Sharpe of Salt Lake City, Utah;
Jake Backus of Dillon, Montana; and Emily (Michael Amorosia) Bush of
Chandler, Arizona, as well as his nieces and nephews.

A private graveside service is pending at St. John Cemetery, Collinsville, Illinois
with Pastor Greg Pratt officiating.

Memorial contributions in Harry's honor may be made to the American Cancer
Society or the American Heart Association.

Harry always put others before himself. At the bottom of his note outlining his last
wishes for his family, he wrote: "Thanks for the trouble!" He would want everyone
to remember: "He's not passed away. He's gone before." As Harry would say at
the end of a phone call, "Later!"
