THERMOPOLIS – Former Hyattville resident Veda Hyatt Clevett, 88, of Thermopolis died on Friday evening, July 30, 2010 at Thermopolis Rehabilitation and Healthcare.

Veda was born on May 25, 1922 on the Hyatt Ranch near Hyattville, a daughter of Samuel Calhoun and Lauretta Rouene (Gapen) Hyatt. Veda was raised at Hyattville and attended elementary school in Hyattville. She graduated from Manderson High School where she was active in 4-H, excelling in swine showmanship.

She worked at Stockgrowers State Bank in Worland before going to college in Denver, Colo. where she earned her Master's Degree in Music.

Veda met Virgil Brown in Denver and they were married in Hyattville. They returned to Denver where he was stationed with the U.S. Army. The couple transferred to Munich, Germany. While living in Munich, she studied music at the University of Munich. After they divorced, she returned to Denver where she continued to study and teach music.

She met and married Pat Doran in Cheyenne. The couple moved to Greybull where they lived and adopted three daughters, Gaylene, Tina and Carolyn. The family moved back to Cheyenne. After divorcing, Veda moved back to Denver to live and teach music.

Veda met Emerson Dunn, a fledgling minister and the couple moved to Junction City, Kansas where they built the First Christian Church. Veda enjoyed being a minister's wife. She worked at Fort Riley Army Base. After Emerson's death, she returned to Denver to obtain her doctorate in Christian Counseling.

She worked as a counselor at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver and as a private counselor through her church. She then married Bud Clevett in Denver. He died shortly after their marriage. While living in Denver she won many awards while competing in ballroom dancing.

In 2002, she moved to Thermopolis to be near her two brothers and their wives and her sister. In Thermopolis she was very active in the Hot Springs Christian Church where she was the church musician and led Bible study groups. She always encouraged people to better themselves and she was also an excellent organizer.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husbands; her brothers Gene, Wesley and Milton Hyatt; her sister Maxinne Hyatt; her niece Sherry Tencich; her nephews Sam and Lanny Hyatt; and her sister-in-law Dorothy Hyatt. Veda is survived by her daughters; four grandchildren; her sisters-in-law both of Thermopolis; and by several nieces and nephews.
