Polly, Caroline Scorup
Caroline Scorup Polly A dear and gracious lady has passed from among us into a
better world. On February 15, 2005, Caroline Scorup Polly died at age 96 of
causes incident to old age. She was born on April 4, 1908 in Salina, Utah, her
father's hometown. He had taken the family to Salina from their home in Bluff,
Utah, so that this sixth child could be delivered by a doctor. But on the day
Caroline was born, the doctor was out of town. And so, her father John Albert
Scorup, a rancher who had delivered many a calf, delivered her himself with
instructions from his wife Emma Theodora Bayles, who was a midwife, as well as
a schoolteacher. Caroline was the youngest of six sisters, Edna Scorup Larsen,
Veda Bayles Scorup Nelson Williams, Anna LaVerde Scorup Gurney, Juliette
Scorup Ward, and Pearl Alberta Scorup Fairbourn, who all died before she did.
Growing up to the age of nine in Bluff, Caroline saw there the last mustering
of the U.S. Cavalry from Denver for an expected Indian uprising which never
happened. Her family moved to Provo, so that all six sisters could graduate
from the BYU. Caroline chose to major in Dietetics and Business. While at BYU
she met her sweetheart Orville Louis Polly, who became her chemistry lab
instructor and husband. They married during the Great Depression on August 29,
1934 in the Salt Lake Temple and rode the bus for their honeymoon to
Baltimore, Maryland, where Orville completed his Ph.D. Fortunately finding a
job in the oil industry in Southern California, they settled in Long Beach,
where they raised their family, Karen Elizabeth, Julie Ann and Kenneth Edward.
Caroline and Orville made many wonderful friends and were active in The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For many years Caroline was the
secretary-treasurer of the Relief Society women's organization of the church
during the bazaar era. She also taught Primary, Mutual, Sunday School and was
a faithful visiting teacher as long as she was able. When Orville died in
1971, Caroline followed through alone on their retirement plans to move back
to Provo. The people of her neighborhood and Edgemont 8th, now the 11th Ward
have been cherished friends. Caroline held her extended family together by
keeping in touch. She always knew just what to bring each person she visited.
She was a consummate Christmas elf. She crocheted numerous afghans for loved
ones. She nurtured beautiful flowers. She loved to go galavanting in her car.
And she delighted in tossing firecrackers on the Fourth of July. We who are
left here will miss her greatly. Her son Ken passed away in 1991. Karen Polly
Sandberg (Howard) and Julie Polly Snow (Jerry) survive her, along with eleven
grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews. We thank the
people at Orem Nursing and Rehabilitation Center for their kind care of our
beloved mother, grandmother and Aunt Caroline. The funeral will be held on
Saturday, February 19, 2005, at 12:00 noon in the Edgemont 11th Ward chapel,
3050 Mojave Lane (3050 North 1250 East) in Provo, Utah. Friends may call at
the church on Saturday morning from 10:30 until 11:45. Interment will be in
the Provo City Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to www.bergmortuary.com.
