Donna Deaton, 63, Butler

Donna Sue Yelton Deaton, 63, of Butler, Ky., passed away on Saturday, April 17, 2004 at her residence. She was a retired Demostration Hostess for Sam’s Club in Florence, Ky., a member of Butler Baptist Church, Pendleton County Historical and Genealogical Society, Breathitt County Historical and Genealogical Society, Newport H.S. Alumni Association and a Ky Colonel. She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Nancy (Dunn) Yelton, grandparents, Jack and Cora (Fornash) Yelton, George and Neva (Loomis) Yelton, and brother, Danny Joe Yelton.
Survivors include: her husband, Johnny Deaton, Butler, Ky., daughters, Nancy Deaton (Bill) Mullins, Ludlow, Ky., Karen Deaton (Jeff) Shoe-maker, Butler, Ky., brother James Yelton (Lana), Butler, Ky., two grandaughters, Donna C. Mullins, Ludlow, Ky. Nancy Shoemaker, Butler, Ky., several nieces, nephews and cousins.
She was an avid geneaologist for over 30 years. David Wecker, Cincinnati Post columnist, referred to her in an article as a “super slueth”. She was helping her Newport High School Class of ‘58 classmates find people for a reunion, she was able to find all the graduates except one, although she did locate him a couple of years later. In 2003, Donna, through her accumulated researching skills, helped reunite a man with his birth mother. She attended dinner they held to get aquainted with each other.
She was called upon by the Newport School Board to help find World War II veterans who had left school to serve in combat and did not receive their high school diplomas when they returned home from the war. The Board wanted to present them with honorary diplomas. Countless people contacted Donna over the years to enlist her skills with helping them to research their family history, with reasons as varied as connecting with their past to solving family mysteries. She even went and researched documents in the National Archives in Washin-gton DC to help her daughter research a paper on a great-grandfather that had served in the Civil War. Other than postage, she never charged for anything she did because her payment was the satisfaction in helping someone to get a glimpse of their connection to the past. Donna loved to pour over record books in the back room of county courthouses and libraries, or trudge through cemeteries looking at the names on headstones. And even with the advent of the Internet and computerized records, she felt nothing could replace good “old fashion” research.
Visitation will be from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 20, at the Peoples Funeral Home in Falmouth.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, April 21, at the Peoples Funeral Home in Falmouth. Pallbearers will be Jim Turner, Jimmy Turner, Tim Deaton, Dennis Turner, Jay Yelton, Danny Yelton.
