Scofield, LaMarr Earl
Laverne Scofield.
LaMarr was born on Sept. 19, 1920, in Julesburg, Colo., the son of Earl and Emma Hennessy Scofield. He married Berniece Zimmerman on Sept. 10, 1941, in Cedar Rapids. LaMarr was employed at Kings Concrete and was a long time member of Teamsters Local #238. He enjoyed gambling, traveling and he loved to dance with Berniece. He also loved the special friends he made from Keystone Cedars. LaMarr proudly served in the Army during World War II.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to the staff at Iowa Hospice and Keystone Cedars for the loving care they gave to LaMarr.
