Read More	1907 - 2003 LAUREL - Mary Elizabeth Scammon died, at the age of 96, at Cedar Wood Village in Red Lodge, on Nov. 18, 2003. Mary Elizabeth (Nee Clare) Scammon was born on July 10, 1907, on a farm in Carbon County (now Yellowstone County), Mont. She was the only surviving child of Samuel Henry Clare and Laura Lottie (Amer) Clare. Two brothers died at birth. Mary was graduated from Laurel High School on May 27, 1927. She married Joseph Gerald Scammon on Dec. 10, 1928, in Livingston. Her beloved husband preceded her in death on Oct. 1, 1987, after 59 years of marriage to Mary. She is survived by four daughters, Ethel (Robert) Sheehan of Ponder, Texas, Mary Ann (Walter) Hagan of Roberts, Laura (Alvin) Lien of Missoula and Edna (Leo) Stepper of Park City. She is also survived by her son Samuel of Dearborn, Mich. Also surviving are 12 grandchildren and 26 great- or great-great-grandchildren. Two very special friends, Dr. Jacqueline Anne Deeb of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Benton E. Riddle of Dearborn, also mourn her passing. Mrs. Scammon was active in the Parent-Teacher Association when her children attended the Byam Elementary School and she was associated with the Montana State Congress of Parents and Teachers in the late 1930s and 1940s. She was also a member of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. Mary attended First Baptist Church in Laurel and later became a member of Grace Bible Church in Laurel. Among her interests, she corresponded with many missionaries who were serving in Africa, Europe and South America. She strongly encouraged a friend to adopt two girls from India. She became their "Grandma Mary." She was a strong believer in tithing to the church. She enjoyed working with organizations such as the Brownies, Campfire Girls and Vacation Bible School. She raised large gardens and canned or froze the produce, much of which she shared with friends and with the Montana Institute of the Bible. She was very fond of raising flowers, especially roses. She was a very creative lady and will be greatly missed by her family and friends. We know, however, that she lives on in her Eternal Heavenly Home. The family is grateful for the loving care Mary received at Cedar Wood Villa and for the wonderful care of Beartooth Hospital and Healthcare Hospice. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to Grace Bible Church, 20 Second Ave., Laurel, MT 59044 or Cedar Wood Villa, PO Box 430, Red Lodge, MT 59068. Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 24, at Smith Funeral Chapel-Laurel. Interment will be in Sunset Memorial Gardens in Billings. Visitation will be Sunday, Nov. 23, from 5 to 8 p.m. at the funeral chapel and before the service.
