The eldest of two children of David Fulton and Rebecca Elizabeth Henrietta Hamilton, her original first name was spelled Davida after her father and her paternal grandmother whose middle name was Davida; she legally changed it in the 1920s to Daveda.
A graduate of the University of Toledo, she obtained graduate degrees at Columbia University and McGill University in education and French.
A life long teacher in the Toledo Public Schools, she spent the majority of her career teaching at Charles Fielbach School for Crippled Children, a dedicated school organized through the Rotary Club of Toledo for physically handicapped children suffering from polio, cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy in 1917. The school received years of financial and logistical support from the Toledo Rotary Club.
She taught until she was 70 when the Fielbach School closed upon completion of a new elementary school on a new campus in 1976 and the special education programs were discontinued.
As my aunt, I had several opportunities to watch her in the classroom; a "no nonsense" teacher, she was revered by her students, many of whom kept in touch with her until she died and many went on to successful careers in spite of their personal disabilities. At her funeral in 1993, many former students were in attendance.
