Our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed away on Wednesday, March 16, 2022 at the age of 83 surrounded by his loving family.
Clarence was born to Neal and Blanche (Wilson) Scow on September 20, 1938 in Mayfield, Utah and was raised in Spanish Fork, Utah.
Clarence married the love of his life, Dorothy Ann Taylor, March 28, 1958 in Springville, Utah. They were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on May 5, 1964. They have been married for 64 years. Together they created a beautiful family of four sons and three daughters. Their time was spent devoted to and providing for their family.
Clarence loved the outdoors. The family spent time together gardening, boating, water skiing, hunting, camping, riding four wheelers, horseback riding, and fishing. His passion was fishing at Strawberry Reservoir and other Utah lakes. He enjoyed repairing and maintaining his vehicles, and he was good at it.
As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he was a High Priest and an excellent Home Teacher. He was a “people” person and enjoyed visiting and serving others.
Clarence was a member of the Teamsters Union and drove a truck hauling materials for roads and other projects in Utah. He worked on various pipelines in Utah including the Scofield pipeline.
He served in the United States Army for two years and was honorably discharged, October 31, 1964.
Clarence is survived by his wife, Dorothy (Taylor) Scow; his brother, Maylon Scow; his children, Michael (Shelly) Scow, Gary (Mary) Scow, Joyce (Tracy) Bjarnson, Susan (Dustin) Kresser, Phillip (Michelle) Scow, Dennis Scow, Melissa (Paul) Johnson; and 27 grandchildren and 59 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Charles and McNeal, his sister Maxine, and grandson, Alex Scow.
Clarence will be missed by all. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Pinnacle Care Center and Nursing Home in Price Utah. We also appreciate the Wellington Stake that provided Sacrament meetings and Family Home Evenings for the past seven years. Clarence really enjoyed having visitors and was quite the socialite.
A funeral service will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22, 2022 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 274 South Main Street in Payson, Utah. Visitation will be held prior from 10:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. Interment will be in the Payson City Cemetery, 400 North 800 East, Payson, Utah.

March 22, 2022 at 6:41 pmToday I say goodbye to my wonderful loving father. He worked so hard to provide for his large family. He instilled this work ethic in all of his children.
He liked helping others and did so in many different ways. I will miss him and I cherish the memories with him. Hunting Deer with him and our family was always a fun time. It was so cold one year my feet were froze he put them on his stomach to warm them up for me. He made sure to provide me with a horse growing up throughout my childhood. All us kids loved being pulled behind the car on the snowy dirt roads on a sled or tube.
I know he’s with God and his loved ones Celebrating his life and return. I was unable to attend his service. Watching it live was nice.
I love you dad and I know I will see you again. God bless my family and comfort my mom through this challenging time.

May 30, 2024 at 8:25 pmI was an “adopted member” of the Scow family- My father had polio, and was not able to venture into the outdoors to hunt or fish, so Gary and Mike took me under their wing, and of course, their father Clarence was always there to guide us. He was a very patient man and put up with a lot of mistakes, I think he understood that was just part of growing up. Chances are, if he wasn’t working, he was probably with his family in the mountains of Utah. There was hardly a dirt road or trail that didn’t call his name. I will always be appreciative of that time he shared, it changed the course of my life.
