Sarah Chipman Scholes
Sarah Kathryn Chipman Scholes of Smithfield died Monday, December 25, 2006 at age 89 after a long illness. She was preceded in death by her husband,William, last month.
She was born in Pleasant Grove, Utah on August 16, 1917, to Dora Elizabeth Priday and Alva B. Chipman. She married William A. Scholes in the Logan LDS Temple on September 16, 1938. They are parents of Katherine (Lyman) Godfrey, North Logan; Karen (LeRoy) Goodey, Clarkston; Wm. Mark Scholes, South Jordan; Barbara (David) Kent, Smithfield, and Bonnie Anderson, Logan. Two Indian Placement students, Jimmy Benally and Elsie Martinez, lived with the family for several years.
She graduated from South Cache High School and entered the Budge Hospital Nursing School in Logan where she completed her RN degree in 1938.
As newlyweds, Sally and Bill went to Ann Arbor, Michigan where he continued his education and she worked as a nurse. She was by his side through schooling, employment and church service throughout their married life. Through her declining years, he was by her side caring for her needs.
She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She served faithfully in the organizations of the Church and as a missionary with her husband in Kiribati and Guam in the early eighties.
Her hobby was people. Sally made many life-long friends through her nursing career at the Logan Hospital and Sunshine Terrace. As a student nurse she accompanied Dr. McGee on more than 100 home deliveries. In the late forties and early fifties she often bathed newborn babies while their mothers gained their strength back. Many people came to her for injections, routine medical advice and loving support. Our home was often filled with people she was helping. It was not unusual for her to volunteer to stay with homebound individuals so family members could attend important events. In her retirement years, she continued to seek out the sick and lonely, blessing many lives with her cheerful visits.
Sally was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She is survived by her children, 25 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and a brother, R. Burke Jensen of Provo. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, brothers Stan and Tom Chipman, sister Louise Gillespie Fitzwater, and an infant son.
Funeral services will be held at 11 am on Saturday, December 30, 2006 in the Smithfield North Stake Center, 155 West 400 North, Smithfield, Utah.
