*Carol Deane Helton*
Carol Deane Helton, of Dixon, was born on August 6, 1937, at Campbell, a daughter of Olen Columbus and Riley Mae Deane (Farmer) Thomas, and departed this life at 2:35 a.m., on Friday morning, May 12, 2017, in the Life Care Center of Waynesville.

Carol was later united in marriage on October 19, 1986, at Dixon, to James Albert Helton, who survives at the home near Dixon. She gained three step-children, Alice, Joanne and Daniel, in this union.
Carol had many accomplishments in her life, with the first being-she had accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior and followed Him in baptism early in life; with the second being -she was the first female St. Louis professional golfer; with the third being-she was diligent in her work ethic during her working life as a dispatcher for many years for the Maries County Sheriff Department, Vienna, as well as for the Dixon Rural Fire Protection District; and with others including being a part of the Dixon Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, who were known as the ÂÂ"Dixon Fire BabesÂÂ"; her unknown number of volunteer hours at the Dixon Senior Citizens Center; being an active member of the Victory Hill Baptist Church near Dixon, being a member of the Order of the Eastern Star for thirty-five years; and best known of all, her hospitality to others with her talent for cooking, sharing her ability at quilting, sharing farm work with her husband, and interacting with and being very proud of her children and grandchildren.
