Jennie SCAIFE Obituary

SCAIFE, Jennie King Jennie King Scaife passed away on Thursday, November 29, 2018 at Good Samaritan Hospital, West Palm Beach, after prolonged health issues. Born in Pittsburgh, PA on July 8, 1963, she was the daughter of Frances G. Scaife and Richard Mellon Scaife (deceased) and the granddaughter of Sarah Mellon Scaife. Jennie served as Chairwoman of the Scaife Family Foundation. She has been a resident of Palm Beach for almost 25 years. Known for her strong philanthropic activities, Jennie worked tirelessly to address social and addiction issues. Additionally, she came to realize and value the positive effects of animal interaction with humans. Jennie generously supported organizations that train and develop service dogs for our wounded troops, service people and first responders. She also supported organizations that trained search dogs used to locate survivors of disasters that could be trapped in rubble and debris. Jennie is survived by her mother, Frances Scaife and her brother, David N. Scaife (wife, Sara) and her nephew, David and niece, Sarah. Services are pending and will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations should be kindly directed to Jennie's beloved charities: Puppies Behind Bars, 263 West 38th St, New York, NY 10018 or Humane Animal Rescue, 6926 Hamilton Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.
