Mary Louise Griswold VanScoyk

March 29, 1943 ~ June 21, 2018

Mary Louise Griswold VanScoyk, 75, entered upon her new life on June 21, 2018, after a long, difficult illness.

Born March 29, 1943, she was raised in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.  After marriage to her husband of 47 years, Robert E. VanScoyk, at his duty station in the Seychelles Islands, she made her home in Eden, Utah.

Mary Louise was the youngest of Leonard and Betsey Griswold's seven children. Brothers Howard and Raymond, and sisters Margaret and Helen predeceased her.

She is survived by her husband, Rob, her daughters Megan VanScoyk of New Mexico, and Robyn Kondo of California, sisters Ruth Peters of Minnesota and Leona Dunham of Connecticut, a large family of Griswold cousins, many nieces and nephews to whom "Aunt Mary" was special, and her life-long, best friend, Linda Forino of Enfield. Connecticut.

A Rocky Hill High School graduate, Mary worked for Connecticut Bank and Trust Co. Upon moving to Utah, she was employed by Williams International. Mary was a long time and devoted member of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Ogden, Utah. She and Rob shared an enthusiasm for out-of-doors activities and a very favorite camp site in St. George. She was devoted to her families, her church, others. Her bright smile, welcoming voice, positive outlook and uplook, and big heart will be fondly remembered.

In Connecticut, arrangements for remembering and celebrating her life and new life, as well as internment in Center Cemetery in Rocky Hill, are incomplete at this time.  Family and friends will be advised when these duties of faith and love are determined.

Family will meet with friends on June 30, 2018, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Lindquist’s Ogden Mortuary, 3408 Washington Blvd. Ogden Utah.

Mary Louise's family extends to her medical "angels" and teams deep appreciation for the friendship, many kindnesses and faithful care given while accompanying them and her on their long journey.
