1924 ~ 2015
Clarence Veloid Hulet departed his earthly existence on 23 Dec. 2015 at age 91 from the effects of Alzheimer's disease. He was best known for his loving heart, devotion to his wife and family, service in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, substantial scientific achievements, wood carving, gardening, carpentry, and a ready wit.
Clarence was born 2 July 1924 in Chinook, MT to Francis Edgar and Ella McEwen Hulet. He was raised on farms near Wendell, ID during the Great Depression. He served in the US Navy for two years as a signalman on an aircraft carrier during World War II and filled a 33-month LDS mission to the Samoan Islands. Clarence earned a Bachelor's degree from Brigham Young Univ. and Masters and PhD degrees in genetics and physiology of reproduction from the Univ. of Wisconsin.
Dr. Hulet taught at Idaho State Univ. before moving on to his research career at the US Dep't of Agriculture Sheep Experiment Station at Dubois, ID where he became Research and Location Leader. He was instrumental in developing the Polypay breed of sheep plus other innovations. With Fullbright-Hayes research scholarships he moved his family to New Zealand for ten months where he conducted research and shared his expertise there and in Australia and later in several other countries. After 25 years, he transferred to the Jornada Research Station at Las Cruces, NM where he developed the research program. He authored text-book chapters, popular articles and numerous scientific papers. Honors include the prestigious "Fellow" award. Clarence believed deeply in the power of prayer and credited divine inspiration for his success.
In 1952 he married Donna Mae Feulner in the Salt Lake LDS Temple and served faithfully as a husband, father, bishop and counselor in a stake presidency, affecting many by sharing his spiritual experiences. He and Donna Mae served missions in Wisconsin and England/Wales.
Clarence enjoyed taking his children fishing and camping in his home-made trailer, helping them raise orphan lambs and teaching them gardening skills. He sang silly songs and spoke Samoan into his last days.
Clarence is survived by his wife, Donna Mae; their eight children, Ladell (Randy) Muhlestein, Brian (Debbie), Diana Grover, Kelvin (Carol), Sherilyn (Kimber) Johnson, Lynn (Tanya), Glade (Sherry), Kendall (Carolina Nunez); brother, Grant (Wanda) and sister, Ella May Sawyer; 41 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren. He has joined his parents and siblings, Maureen Rappleye, Kathleen Frances, Elise, Dorothy Pincock and Reed.
A service will be held Wed., 30 Dec. at 11:00 a.m. in the Canyon Ward chapel, 3477 E River Bottoms Rd, Spanish Fork with a viewing at 9:30. To help us honor a life well lived, you are invited to visit and briefly share a memory of Clarence at a light luncheon following the service. Interment will then be at the Spanish Fork Cemetery.
