Class of 1926. Caroline Scorup. Source: 1926 BYU Banyan yearbook, BYH section. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: Caroline Scorup Polly, 1908 ~ 2005. 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 [BYH Class of 1916] was the youngest of six sisters, Edna Scorup Larsen [BYH Class of 1916], Veda Bayles Scorup Nelson Williams [BYH Class of 1919], Anna LaVerde Scorup Gurney [BYH Class of 1921], Juliette Scorup Ward, and Pearl Alberta Scorup Fairbourn, all of whom 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 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. Her funeral was held on Saturday, February 19, 2005, in the Edgemont 11th Ward chapel, 3050 Mojave Lane (3050 N. 1250 E.) in Provo, Utah. Interment, Provo City Cemetery.
