Veva M. Belmont
August 5, 1923 - September 24, 2017
Veva loved family and community functions and could often be found organizing a picnic or impromptu family dinner at home, the lakeside or in the hills. Her home was a warm place of gathering for her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and friends. Her vivacious spirit and faith brought her through good times and hard, leaving an unforgettable legacy for all those she touched in her life. During her retirement years Veva was married to Howard Burns until that union dissolved. She then moved to Antoine Creek where she lived out her years next to family and enjoyed the peace and beauty of country life. These were some of the best years of her life until, in her words, “Somewhere along the way I got old”. Veva is survived by her children; Claton (Alice) Belmont of Wenatchee, Laurie Kemper of Chelan, Ginger Ewing (Tim) of Manson, Minet (Lori) Belmont of Chelan, and Copeland (Jody) Belmont of Richland, WA; plus 20 grandchildren, 4 step grandchildren, 19 great grandchildren, 5 step great grandchildren; 9 nieces and nephews and her cousin Georgia Ann Morehouse Thomas. Veva was preceded in death by her parents, her daughter Mandy, her sister Alice E. (Davis) Smith, and brothers Copeland G. Davis and Howard E. Davis, nephew Ron Smith and son-in-law David Kemper.
