Celeste N. Eatherton's Obituary
Celeste Nadine Eatherton, 57, of Peachtree City, GA, a loving Mom, daughter and sister, passed away on March 13, 2022 in Palm Coast, Florida following a lengthy hospital stay there.
Celeste was born February 16, 1965 in New Underwood, S.D. to Florence (Quinn) and John Eatherton II. After graduating from Fayette County (GA) High School in 1983, Celeste attended Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. She enjoyed her work for several years as Assistant Manager at a retail store but resigned to care for her children during their school years. Subsequently, she worked until last August as a paraprofessional at Liberty Tech Charter School in Brooks, GA. Celeste was an avid reader who loved books and working with both young and elderly people. She was also a devout Christian woman who enjoyed her church families.
Celeste’s father, John “Roger” Eatherton, and her stepsister, Debra Hoffman, preceded her in death. She is survived by her three children: Zachary Hunt of Newnan, GA; Olivia Hunt of Norcross, GA; and Corinne Hunt of Norcross, GA; her Mom and stepdad, Florence and William Lyon of Palm Coast, Florida; her stepmother, Jane Eatherton of Dundee, NY; her sister Melanie Eatherton of Mooresville, NC, and her brothers John Eatherton III and his wife Cherie of Quakertown, PA, and Robert Eatherton and his wife Danette of Peachtree City; her stepsister Caitlin and husband Matt Wehling of Spring City, PA and her stepbrothers Eric Gunderson of Amery, WI, Christian Lyon and his wife Cynthia of Knightdale, NC, Dain Lyon and his wife Shirley of Amery, WI, and Curtis Lyon of Somerset, WI; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews who also loved her and will miss her.
Zach, Olivia and Corinne Hunt, would like to welcome your presence for a Celebration of Life to honor their mom. It will be held Saturday, May 7, 2022 from 10 a.m. to Noon at the Lake McIntosh boat launch, located at the end of TDK Boulevard in Peachtree City, Georgia.
Celeste was full of life and enjoyed the many colors of this world. Please wear bright colors that would have made Celeste smile and let us all feel the colors of the world as she would have. The family is asking that you bring a 3x5 index card with your favorite memory/story of Celeste and/or a 4x6 size of your favorite photo of Celeste. We will have a board and easel onsite for them to pinned on. After the Celebration of Life, her children will be able to read and enjoy the memories of their mom and probably learn more about what made Celeste so great. If you are unable to attend, please reach out to Danette Eatherton and she will provide the address to send any cards or photos to.
On behalf of her children and her entire family, we are very blessed at the love and support that we have received during this difficult time. As Celeste would have wished, we will continue to honor her by living our best lives possible and seeing the good in the world. We love you all and Keep Smiling!
