THE VILLAGE ON CLAYTON POND
Clayton Pond was established in 1991 as a zoned single-family neighborhood in Edmond, Oklahoma. The subdivision is conveniently located off 2nd Street west of IH-35. It is a short commute to Tinker Air Force Base (approx. 21 miles) and downtown Oklahoma City (approx. 18 miles). Edmond is home to the University of Central Oklahoma and Oklahoma Christian University.

Ben McCarley
My name is Ben McCarley and I was born and raised in Dallas, TX. Graduated from Univ of TX-Arlington with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I lived in Tampa, FL for a number of years working for various engineering firms. Briefly returned to Dallas, then to OK where I worked for Tinker for 7 years before moving along to the FAA for last 6 years. I have 2 sisters and 1 brother, spread from coast to coast. I have lived in Clayton Pond for 10+ yrs. Not married and no kids. I play a lot of tennis to keep myself busy. If elected to HOA, I look to bring my broad business and engineering experience in the hopes of continuing the high standards I've seen in our neighborhood for 10+ yrs.
Melissa Grimes
Hello! My name is Melissa Grimes, and my family and I have been proud residents of Clayton Pond since 2021. I am originally from Texas, a military spouse, and a veterinarian. Currently, however, I am serving my family as a stay-at-home mom. This has provided me the opportunity to fulfill volunteer needs on our school’s PTO Board. Prior to moving here, my husband and I prayed for great neighbors as well as friends for our children, and we were overjoyed at the blessing that this neighborhood has been! I always share with others how great our neighborhood is — the close community, the events throughout the year, it’s beauty — and I have enjoyed helping out wherever I can this past year. Currently I steward our Little Free Library at the clubhouse. I would love to see our community continue to flourish and want to be a part of its success.
Darlene Rose
Hi. I am Darlene Rose and I moved to Clayton Pond in 2020 from west Edmond. I recently lived in Ohio and Maryland where I was a member of an HOA board there. I am a RN working at Mercy Hospital and have recently semi-retired, if you can do that! We chose to move to Clayton Pond because of the ponds, community pool and trees! My boyfriend and I love to walk the neighborhood and visit with people. Being in a beautiful family friendly safe neighborhood is very important to us! I would like to serve on the board to continue to improve our community!
Charlotte Goddard
Charlotte Goddard moved to Clayton Pond in 1994. Originally from Texas, she feels that OK is as close to home as her friends and family in Houston. Her first career was a kindergarten teacher in Houston. After that, she worked for the City of Houston, the Houston Aviation Department, Southwest Airlines in Dallas, and pharmaceutical sales management in OK for 20 years. She retired in 2018, and her “interests/hobbies” include being “Gram” for two granddaughters (ages 7and 10), family, friends, and neighborhood.
Her most prominent role in the Clayton Pond has been to serve as Treasurer for several years.
This year, Charlotte hopes to inspire neighbors to get more involved and become better acquainted with volunteer activities and the wonderful people in Clayton Pond.
DaRenda Hanson
Originally from Weatherford, Oklahoma, I moved to Edmond in 2001 to attend UCO—while in Edmond, I met my husband, David. Except for a 2.5 year stent when we moved to San Antonio, we haven’t left! Edmond is home to us and we have enjoyed living in Clayton Pond for the last seven years. We have two boys, Dane (13) and Cooper (9).
I am an Accountant and a Financial Coach, and an avid DIYer around the house. We enjoy the neighborhood pool many evenings in the summer, and watching football on our patio in the fall. I would like to serve on the board to have a hand in helping and do my part to improve the neighborhood for everyone.
Karen Lacy
Hello neighbors! My name is Karen Lacy and I have lived in Clayton Pond for 23 years. This will be my third term on the HOA board and I’ll be serving as your Vice President. I am a third generation Edmond resident and I love this community and our neighborhood. My goal is to continue investing in this community, so the next generation will have the same support, safety, and beautiful surroundings that I have enjoyed while living in Clayton Pond. I like forward to helping and serving you.
Jim Svetgoff
Jim Svetgoff is a native of Oklahoma City and graduated from U. S. Grant high school. He then attended UCO (Central State University at the time) and graduated with a degree in Chemistry. Jim spent the next 47 years working in the oil industry: 23 of those years with Baker Hughes and the last 8 years with Devon. He retired in 2022.
Jim and his late wife Cheryl were married for 40 years before she passed away from cancer in 2021. They had 2 children and 8 grandchildren.
Jim married Denise Peabody in 2022. Denise lost her husband Gary to cancer three months before Cheryl died. They had been married 40 years and had 3 children and 8 grandchildren. Gary and Denise were the original owners of the home at 108 Berkshire Drive. Both had been active in the Clayton Pond HOA for many years and did a lot of volunteer work for the neighborhood.
Jim and Cheryl attended church with Gary and Denise for 20 years. After their spouses died, Jim and Denise had dinner with each other as friends a few times and that eventually led to an incredibly wonderful marriage. The original plan after the honeymoon was to sell their homes and buy a new house that would be “theirs”. Jim sold his home, but after looking for “their” house for several months they decided to remain in Denise’s home. Jim loved the neighborhood and their neighbors and bought a 50% interest in Denise’s home. His love for the neighborhood made him want to be on the HOA board.
Jim and Denise now have 5 children and 16 grandchildren whom they try to see regularly. They love to travel and have been to Hawaii (honeymoon), France, Switzerland and Italy since getting married.
