  HIST	2691 Wedgefield Road ELIZABETH HILTON Posted Wednesday, March 25, 2015 6:00 am Elizabeth Newman "Lib" Hilton, 90, widow of John Bingley "J.B." Hilton, died on Sunday, March 22, 2015, at her home in Sumter. Born in Sumter, she was a daughter of the late Van Telburg Newman and Selma Steele Newman. Mrs. Hilton was a lifelong member of the Grace Baptist Church, where she was a member of the Faith Sunday School Class, sang in the choir, and served as church pianist for many years, beginning when she was just 17. With her husband J.B. she led the fifth and sixth grade Sunday school class for 55 years, sharing her love of music and faith in the Lord with hundreds of young people. To this day, the "Children of Grace" can attest to this by reciting the books of the Bible and singing the "Hash Chorus." In addition to being a gifted pianist, she exhibited a myriad of other talents, including gardening and flower arranging. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to establish Lib's Dress Shop and Hilton Tours. Those who went on a "Hilton Tour" will remember her ability to organize fun and exciting excursions, complete with sing-alongs on the bus, creating lifelong memories. Her joyful spirit made every gathering of friends and family a celebration of love. Surviving are a son, Dr. John B. Hilton Jr. (Susan) of Sumter; a daughter, Patricia Hilton Limoges (Neal) of Sumter; a brother, Van Newman (Alice) of Columbia; six grandchildren, John Hilton III, Margaret Hilton, Tracy Spigner (Jeffrey), Sarah Atkins (Jason), Alex Limoges (Brett) and Kate Limoges (Tim); and six great-grandchildren, Anna Louise Spigner, Laney Spigner, Jeffrey Spigner Jr., Olivia Griffin, Cameron Atkins and Millie Atkins.
