Jean Elaine (LaFoy) Scanlon was born in Milford, Iowa, Aug. 29, 1928, and died after losing a battle with cancer on Dec. 12, 2010. Her parents were Ray and Jean LaFoy.
She attended Milford Public schools from first to 12th grade, graduating in 1946. While in high school Jean was very active in the music department, singing and playing a baritone horn in the band. Her classmates of the graduating class of 1946 have always been very close, and Jean continued to e-mail with them frequently.
Jean attended Morningside University in Sioux City, Iowa, and the University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, Iowa. In 1950, Jean enlisted in the Navy WAVES and became highly skilled as a surgical technician. While in the service, she met her future husband, Vince Scanlon and was married in 1950. Jean followed Vince in his 20 years of service in the Navy.
He retired from the Navy in 1968 after 20 years. The couple lived in California, Hawaii and Virginia during those years.
Upon retirement, the Scanlons moved to Deer Lodge, where Vince was engaged in a drug research program working for Hoffmann Roche. This project closed in 1983 and Vince and Jean bought and operated an H&R Block concern for a number of years.
They sold that business and Vince became the pastor of First Baptist Church in Butte.
Jean played the piano and also produced several wonderful concerts. She loved music and was choir director of several churches over the years.
Jean worked for several years at Colonial Manor in Deer Lodge. She was always helping people in many ways. She was a wonderful Christian woman and was an inspiration to many who knew her.
Jean is survived by her husband, Vince, and daughter, Alison and her husband Bruce and two grandchildren, Sarah and Aaron Lanctot of Las Vegas. She is also survived by her brother, Aubrey LaFoy and wife Connie, and nephews, Randy, Ray and Carl LaFoy and their seven children.
Jean was a wonderful wife, mother, grand-mother, sister and friend and we will miss her a great deal. God Bless Jean, we know she is with Jesus Christ, her and our Savior.
Services will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 15, in Christ Fellowship Church, 306 Montana, Deer Lodge. Burial will be in Hillcrest Cemetery.
