SUMMARY OF MRS. LUKEN'S LIFE
Vesta Mae Lukens, wife of Rev. Charles E. Lukens, Jr., minister of St. Paul's church, 43rd and Judah, entered into the richer, fuller, vaster Life of the Homeland, Friday morning, Dec. 4th, and her remains were laid to rest, awaiting that awesome and glorious Resurrection day, in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California, Dec. 7th.
In the short thirty-three years of her life she had embraced interests seldom excelled, newspaper and business experience, teacher, religious educator, wife, mother. Born in British Columbia, where her parents, Mr. and Mrs. David F. Clements , had gone for a visit, she spent her early girlhood in East Jordan, Michigan. Her family then removed to Redlands where she entered high school. She was graduated having barely reached seventeen, having won high honors as debater. From then on her life was an active one, crowding within itself newspaper reportorial work, accountance in two of Los Angeles large business institutions, study in Occidental college and Redlands university, graduation from State normal school in Los Angeles, after which she taught in one of the city schools for two years.
In 1917 Mr. and Mrs. Lukens were united in marriage in the Chapel of the great Immanuel Presbyterian church of Los Angeles, where both had been active in Christian work. Mr. Lukens then just commencing his last year in U. S. C. Law school. One year later both came north and Mrs. Lukens took the full course in the San Francisco Theological Seminary, located at San Anselma, with her husband, graduating with highest honors, and receiving the degree of Bachelor of Divinity, the first, and probably only, such degree ever to be granted a woman in the great Presbyterian denomination. During the last two of their seminary years Mrs. Lukens had been assisting her husband in the work at St. Paul's - week end work - and upon graduation and called to the pastorate of St. Paul's, she entered actively and sympathetically into the trying responsibilities of minister's wife in a city parish.
A little son, Paul Clement, was born May 1, 1924, and two weeks later a stroke of paralysis laid Mrs. Lukens low. From that illness she was making a brave, patient, and gallant fight for recovery, mothering her babe, doing much of her housework, and beginning again to assist her husband in her office of minister's wife, when a heart infection, probably existing for years, flared up and proved to be her last illness. Besides the service at St. Paul's, a beautiful service attended by many friends, was held in the Scovern Funeral chapel, Glendale, Sunday afternoon, Dr. Herbert Booth Smith, of Immanuel, conducting the service.
In joy and sorrow, in plenty and want, in life and death she had been a loyal wife, and then a devoted mother.
