In order to find an obit from 1980, you can start with the newspaper for the town where the person lived. Most newspapers keep archive copies of all of their editions. The obituaries would be included. Often, the local library may also carry archived copies as well.
If you know where the person lived (or died) try searching the online versions of newspapers, e.g. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/obituaries/
