Agnes Elizabeth Craig Scofield, died peacefully in her sleep March 28, 1993. She was 90-years-old.

Born in Great Falls, Montana in 1902. She moved to Salt Lake City in 1916, to attend Salt Lake Collegiate Institute, now know as Westminster College. At 16, she went to the U of U, where she studied Pre-med. Unable to afford medical school, she became a medical technologist, and worked at the Santa Barbara Clinic and the Beverly Hills Clinic. During this time, she started both the first professional organization for medical technologists, and was founding editor of the journal, Clinical Laboratory; she remained contributing editor for years afterward.

She married Glen J. Scofield in Santa Barbara in 1936; they later divorced. She moved with Glen to San Diego, where she worked as a social worker. She also wrote an advice column for the newspaper, and published short stories in Colliers, Saturday Evening Post, and the Ladies Home Journal. She and Glen adopted a baby daughter in 1945. In 1947, she moved to Centerville, Utah, where she remained until 1987. She worked for Holy Cross Hospital, Kennecott Health Services, and was head of the County Hospital's out-patient laboratory until 1965. When the hospital moved and became the U of U Medical Center, she continued working there until her retirement.

She was an accomplished artist, musician, singer and dancer. She loved to teach and guide people toward appropriate and fulfilling vocations.

Elizabeth is survived by her daughter, Nancy Johnson-Nance, PhD; her son-in-law, Richard Jackson Nance, Jr.; and three granddaughters, Kate Victoria, Sarah Elizabeth, and Emily Harris Johnson and son-in-law, Thomas Harris Johnson.

A memorial service will be held at St. Ambrose Church, 2300 East Redondo Ave, on Saturday, April 3, 1993, at 2 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Elizabeth Craig Scofield Humanitarian Award Fund, C/O, Dan Hogge, Dept. of Psychiatry, UUMC, 50 No. Medical Drive, SLC, Ut. 84132 please.
