Luxola was born in Philadelphia, Mississippi, on September 9, 1929, to the late Bennie and Annie (nee: Kelley) Marshall. Luxola had some education within the Philadelphia, Mississippi, school system. Upon leaving Philadelphia, her family resided in Arkansas and later in Marion, Illinois. She stayed behind while some family moved to Robbins, Illinois. Shortly after she met Harry Hinton, they relocated to Robbins, Illinois, also. They were united in marriage on October 1, 1947, in Chicago, Illinois. She was united with New Friendship Missionary Baptist church where she accepted Christ under the leadership of the late Rev. Felix Taurvin. During their years in Illinois, they were owners of the Phillip 76 gas station. She was also employed by the Kleindress company in Blue Island, Illinois, and the Oscar Meyer Bacon Factory in Chicago, Illinois.

Shrosphire, and Pastor Keith Evans. Until her health failed, she was on the Mission Board, Mother’s Board, Prison Ministry, Women’s Choir, and whatever the church asked her to do. She loved her church family and especially her pastor, Keith Evans and his family. Luxola also worked alongside her cousin, Josephine Marshall doing food ministry at the St. Patrick Center.

2 years ago I had the privilege of meeting this beautiful angel she was so sweet kind and loving. She made me feel like I have known her forever. I was looking forward to spending more time with her. Life is short and I am so glad that we had that short time together, I believe it was for 3 days. Now she’s lighting up heaven.
