Melissa A. Claxton April 19, 1965 - November 13, 2021

Melissa Claxton passed away in the early hours of Saturday November 13th at St Elizabeth Hospital, Edgewood KY. Melissa was born on April 19, 1965 at General Hospital, Cincinnati, Ohio.  Melissa was a beloved daughter to Floyd and Margie Claxton. Sister to Regina (Mike) Hehman, Floyd (Jr.), Troy and Yolanda Claxton. Aunt to Jill Murray (Hehman), Jason Hehman, Katie Schmidt (Claxton), Christopher Claxton, Kyle Claxton, and Sydney Stanfield; Great Aunt to Brantley Hehman, Harper & Alexis Murray, Bradleigh & Navey Hagan, Elijah Claxton and Izayah Schmidt.  A current resident of Taylor Mill, Melissa grew up in Dayton and Bellevue, KY area. She was a proud graduate of Dayton High School. Most everyone knew her growing up. She was a very memorable character. She loved walking around or sitting on the porch talking to people. She wasn’t shy about just staring up a conversation, whether she knew you or not. Melissa enjoyed playing Bingo, but loved to shop.  Especially for shoes, socks and purses. Betty Boop was her favorite. If she saw something with Betty Boop, she had to have it. She was also an animal lover. She has always had a dog, Dachshunds mostly, but she has had fish of all types, and most recently birds.

Loved walking around , going to game rooms, football games, helped me babysit my sister. I’d go up your house you’d take a bath n want me to talk to you while you bathing lol, I ate dinner with you n family many times. We was together everyday honey. Rest in peace Melissa.

    To Melissa’s family and I am truly sorry to hear about her passing. I was a cashier at Bellevue Goodwill and she and her mom & dad would always come in to shop or just look around. I called her Betty Boop cause she cared a purse and it just fit her. I would like to send my prayers and love to her family and friends. Betty Boop rest easy my friend. Again this was hard to swallow when I heard this. You truly earned your wings and your place in Heaven.
