Giancarla Scrip

August 19, 1926 ~ April 11, 2020

Giancarla “Carla” Scrip finally let go of her mortal body and flew to the heavens April 11, 2020, surrounded by her loving and amazing husband John, daughter Camille and son Michael. Carla was the second-born daughter to Attillio and Camilla Sansoni, in Milan, Italy on August 19, 1926. She and Wanda would recount stories of living through WWII and seeing Mussolini and his mistress hanging in the local square.  

In 1952, Carla came to Salt Lake City to visit her sister who was a war bride. Here she met John Scrip, a young soldier stationed at Fort Douglas.  The two married after only two weeks of dating on September 1, 1952. She did not speak English nor did John speak Italian. They were married for 67 years; the last five years John lovingly and patiently took great care of her.

Before adopting their two children, Carla worked for Walker Bank as a bookkeeper. She was a stay-at-home mom to her children until they were in high school. Carla then returned to part-time work as a teller at Valley Bank, which is now Chase.  

She was a hard worker and it showed in her home and yard. Her house was always spotless, clothes washed, put away and dinner on the table at 5:30 p.m. every night.  

Travel was a passion for both Carla and John. Travel by bus was one of their favorite times, meeting new people and seeing both coasts of the U.S. and Canada.  They were able to travel back to Italy a couple of times spending time with family and friends in the Milan and Lake Como area. 

Carla is survived by her husband John, daughter Camille (Dannee), son Mike, grandchildren Joshua and Sierra and her nephew Gary Badger.   

Preceded in death by her parents, Attilio and Camilla, and sister Wanda and brother-in-law Hobart.

A private graveside service was held on April 15, 2020 at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. A gathering to remember Carla will be held at a later date.
