Dorothy Green (Dot) Luton passed away peacefully in Goodlettsville, TN on October 19, 2022 at the age of 93. Dot was born in Nashville on March 16, 1929 to Tyler Berry Green and Madge Young Green. She is survived by her daughter Laura Luton, son Tom Luton (Dana), grandchildren Madison Luton, Alesha Luton, Cooper Luton (Kara), and Aaron Luton. She was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, Herbert W. (Bub) Luton, their son, Steve Luton, her parents and younger brother, Jim Green.
During the early depression years, Dot’s father traveled the country as a bank auditor. As a result, she often moved with her family, or lived with extended family: attending elementary school in Memphis, TN, Junior High in New York City, 10th and 11th grade at Isaac Litton High in Nashville, and graduated from West End High School in Nashville.
Dot joined Inglewood Methodist Church where she met Bub and they were married in the church on June 8, 1948. After Bub served in both the Army and Navy during the Korean War, the couple moved to Goodlettsville in 1955 and joined Connell Memorial United Methodist Church (Connell). At about this time, Laura and Steve joined the family, followed by Tom a few years later.
Over the years Dot did not work outside the home. She was, however, active at Connell, and at various times served as the United Methodist Women’s President at Connell, the Cumberland district president for UMW, was active in the Tennessee Conference social relations UMW, and a board member of the Bethlehem Center.
