Clayton of Marshalltown, Iowa, passed away comfortably and peacefully on Monday, July 13, 2015 at the VA Hospital Community Living Center in Des Moines, Iowa, with his wife Deloris, at his side. Funeral services at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Marshalltown, Pastor Alex Post officiating. Burial at Riverside Cemetery. Don was born on July 27, 1931, in Marshalltown, the son of George and Elizabeth (Bohi) Clayton. He graduated from Marshalltown High School in 1949, where he was actively involved in extra-curricular activities and sports. He earned an undergraduate degree from Iowa State Teachers College (University of Northern Iowa) in education, and later earned a Masters Degree in education. Don was an accomplished collegiate baseball player while at Iowa State Teachers College, and where met his future wife Deloris. Don and Deloris were married on June 14, 1953, in Pomeroy, Iowa. Two days later, on Tuesday, June 16, he left to serve in the U.S. Army for 21 months of active duty in the Continental United States, Japan, and Korea. Don was a generous, kind, and giving man who valued relationships and who enjoyed serving others. He was active in the community by volunteering with the Marshalltown Little League, the Iowa Veterans Home, the VFW, and many others. He loved nothing more than his family, and was a loving and devoted husband and father. He loved athletics, and loved to watch his children and grandchildren participate in their various activities. Don was active with church serving as an usher and an elder for many years. He enjoyed gardening, maintaining his yard, vacationing with family, and helping his neighbors. It was not unusual to see Don and his snow blower clearing several driveways and sidewalks in the neighborhood after a snow storm. Don's passion for service was evident in his career choice. He taught high school business classes starting in 1955 in Denver, Iowa, for two years, and then with Marshalltown High School for 32 years before retiring in 1989. He enjoyed his fellow teachers and students, and was remarkable at remembering all of their names over his 34 years of teaching. Don also was involved with coaching tennis at MHS early in his teaching career. He always loved a good joke. Don also taught summer Drivers Education classes a number of years. Don is survived by his wife, Deloris Clayton, of Marshalltown; their three children, Dan (Becky) Clayton of Aurora, Colorado, Dale (Shelley) Clayton of Omaha, Nebraska, and Donita (John) Wright of Bondurant, Iowa; six grandchildren; and fourgreat grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; five sisters; and three brothers. The family would like to thank the wonderful hospital staff and caregivers at the VA Hospital in Des Moines for the tremendous care for Don these last few months.
