Local business woman Marietta Dinneen has served the Cheyenne community for decades in various ways. Join us for this special monthly Chamber luncheon during Business Week to celebrate all she has accomplished and contributed to what we see in Laramie County. Marietta will be officially inducted into the Circle of Champions-- an exclusive group comprised of individuals that have accelerated our community.
Dinneen is an incredible leader in Laramie County who has been recognized by many for her ability to put others first and embody the value of community. In 2013 she received the Wyoming Tribune Eagle Community Spirit Award and has been inducted in the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame.
Dinneen grew up in Saratoga and Encampment, Wyoming and moved to Cheyenne in 1951 after completing a degree in home economics from the University of Wyoming. She then began a career in teaching at Carey Junior High in the 60s and 70s.
While in Cheyenne, she found a way to embrace her love for carriages and wagons through Cheyenne Frontier Days. In 1966, she was invited to be part of W-Heels, the group of women volunteers who assist in the Cheyenne Frontier Days Parades. Her love of her western heritage led her to be a champion behind the development of the Old West Museum in 1978. Dineen became one of the founding members of the Board of Directors and spearheaded efforts to make this museum the home to historic carriages and wagons, where each shares a story.
In addition to the museum, in past years Dinneen served on the DePaul Hospital Guild and was on the Laramie County Community College Foundation Board of Directors. In 1989, she was named woman of the year by the Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce and is now proudly an inductee into the Circle of Champions.
Communities are fortunate to have leaders like Marietta Dineen. An individual of kindness who can persevere through challenges and work towards greatness; she preserved the history of our community and is a role model to us all.
Be inspired to walk a similar path as the Circle of Champions members and enjoy the company of Business Week attendees for this important and celebratory lunch!
