She was employed as a junior health physicist at the X-10 site of the Manhattan Project until 1948, when she left before the birth of her son. In the late 1950's, Mrs. Coveyou returned to college and received her bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee in 1960. Later she also received a master's degree from UT. After graduation, she began a 40-year career as a teacher and tutor of remedial reading and mathematics. She was continuing to tutor two students up to the week before her death. She also taught among the first Adult Basic Literacy courses in Tennessee, and wrote and consulted on effective methods for teaching remedial reading. Her family said she took great pleasure in the progress of her students, first in their growing reading or math comprehension while she was tutoring them and then in their later lives. Throughout her time in Oak Ridge, her family said she expressed her passion for justice through involvement in social action, particularly related to racial justice. Early in Oak Ridge history, she worked with the Scarboro Day Care Center and the Scarboro High School. Later on, she was an active member and officer of the Oak Ridge Community Relations Council, an interracial civil rights group in Oak Ridge in the 1950's and 1960's. In recent years, she was a trustee of the Sallie McCaskill Memorial Scholarship Fund, which she helped to found, and which awards college scholarships to selected minority students. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband in 1996. Mrs. Coveyou is survived by her son, Michael Coveyou and wife, Carolyn, of Des Moines, Iowa; her brother, Seymour Meyerson and wife, Lotte, of Asheville, N.C.; and by her sister, Sarah Houghton and husband, Harold, of Richmond, Calif. She is also survived by three nieces, Sheela Mierson and husband, Howard Stanfield, of Newark, Del., Elana Kann of Asheville, and Joy Weiner and husband, Jack, of Centreville, Va.; two nephews Oliver Houghton of Fremont, Calif., and Darrell Houghton of Boulder, Colo.; and by two grandnephews and one grandniece. Diantha Pare, Aase Brynestad, Caryl Kaplan, Peter Luippold, Alta Hicks, Kit Kuperstock, Lavada Chisholm, Bettie and the late Henri Levy, Eleanor and Roger Clark, and Don and Janice Reynolds, are all considered special friends, several of which her family said helped her tremendously in recent years. A memorial service will be at the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church at a later date. The body was donated to the Anatomical Bequest Program of the University of Tennessee Medical Center. The family requests that any memorials be in the form of contributions to the Sallie McCaskill Memorial Scholarship Fund, c/o Diantha Pare, 117 Wendover Circle, Oak Ridge, TN 37830.
