Cecile K. Scofield

Colonie- Cecile K. Scofield, 77, passed away peacefully on November 7, 2026, one day before her 78th birthday. She was born in Watertown, NY, on November 8, 1948, to the late Raymond and Joan Kirkey.

Cecile was the beloved wife of Robert H. Scofield, with whom she shared 57 years of marriage. Together, they began their family in Oswego, NY, and settled in Colonie, NY, where they built a life filled with family, laughter, and countless memories.

Cecile was a graduate of Jefferson Community College before beginning her life as a devoted wife and mother. Cecile’s greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who treasured every moment spent with the people she loved.

She and Robert were blessed with six children: Steven (Marisa) Scofield, Elizabeth (Carmen) DiPiazza, Sarah (Luis) Montanez, Peter (Krystal) Scofield, Megan (Sean) Magrum, and Rachel (Aldous) Strother. She was a proud grandmother to 12 grandchildren and great-grandmother to three. Her family was her greatest accomplishment and the source of so much happiness throughout her life. Cecile will also be missed by her sister Patricia (Bill) Mousaw; sisters in law Cindy (Howard) Frederick and Donna Scofield; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members and dear friends.

She is predeceased by her parents in law, Robert and Pauline Scofield and her brother in law John Scofield.

Cecile also enjoyed the simple pleasures that brought her joy, especially playing bingo and spending time at Saratoga Casino, where she had a particular fondness for Miss Ellie. Whether surrounded by family, cooking “The pre-Thanksgiving practice turkey”, enjoying a game of bingo, or trying her luck at the casino, Cecile had a way of making memories wherever she went.
