Carole Newton,
Resident of the Month
Congratulations to Carole Newton on
being selected as May’s Resident of the
Month!
Carole was born on August 4, 1940, to
Gordon and Iva DeMoss in Battle Creek,
Mich., the home of Kellogg’s cereal. Because of this, several members of Carole’s
family have worked for Kellogg’s.
As a child, Carole’s father worked for
United Steel & Wire, where grocery carts
were made. Her mother was employed as a
waitress. Carole has one younger sister,
Georgena “Porge”, who currently lives in
Castleberry, Fla.
In 1958, Carole graduated from Athens
High School in Athens, Mich. Shortly after
graduating, she married Don Bradstreet.
Carole and Don were blessed with a son,
Keith, and daughter, Karen. During this
time, Carole worked for the U.S Federal
Civil Service and then as a dental assistant.
After Don and Carole went their separate ways, Carole met Kenneth “Buzz”
Newton from Massachusetts. At the time,
Buzz was a member of the United States
Airforce. He went on to serve a total of 20
years, spending much of his time as a
Flight Engineer. Together, Buzz and
Carole were blessed with two daughters,
Kimberly and Kaylene. Eventually, Keith
and Karen became Newtons.
Being a military family, they traveled
throughout world. While living in Memphis, Tenn., they were neighbors to Elvis
Presley’s Graceland. On one occasion,
Carole actually saw Elvis driving his car!
For four years, Carole, Buzz, and the
rest of their family were stationed in
Germany. While there, the family lived in
“the economy”, meaning they lived off-

base. They rented the first floor of a
house in the town of Weisbaden and
developed an close friendship with the
German family that owned the house.
After Buzz’s retirement from the
Air Force, the family moved to an 80
acre farm in Collins, Mo. Upon
moving, Carole worked at a family
practice medical clinic.
Carole has many hobbies which
include: sewing, floral arranging,
interior decorating, crocheting and
crafting. She loves spending time with
her family, including her nine
grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
In 2014, Carole made Butterfield
her home. She enjoys participating in
the weekly art class, playing Bingo,
the parties and craft activities. She’s
always working on a project! Thanks
for sharing your story with us Carole.
We are blessed to have you as part of
our Butterfield family!
