  • Notes 
    • Elizabeth was born on Grand Avenue in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1901. The entire Hughs family got on a train around 1905 and moved to California. Elizabeth was the daughter of Harry Simpson Hughs and Ruth Mae Beckwith and the sister of Ellen Abdill Hughs and Marian Mignon Hughs Moran. She first married Leonidas Oren Beckwith (no relation to her mother) by which she had 4 children, Harry Seymour, Doris Mae, Marian Elizabeth and Leon Oren. Her husband left her during the depression and on January 6, 1934 she married Aricibald Denver Gibson. Her children all adored him and always considered him their father. Before her marriage to Arch she was a single Mother who raised her 4 children by working 2 full time jobs plus made artificial flowers that her kids sold door to door. That eventually turned in to a job with the studios because her flowers and plants were so realistic, they could decorate the sets and wouldn't melt under the lights. This was before they could use air conditioning due to the noise. She worked on the sets of most of the big stars of her day. She was a business partner in a flower shop on Sunset Blvd with Lucille Ball's mother , Desiree. She was a good and decent woman, hard working and beloved by all who knew her. My "Good Grandma" I still miss you so much. She died at the age of 49 in Glendale, California of cancer.
