The Sanilac County Community Foundation is pleased to announce the recipient of the Edward & Viviene Huntoon Memorial Scholarship is Emily Bell.

Emily is the daughter of Jason and Jill Bell of Marlette.  A 2019 graduate of Marlette Jr./Sr. High School. During her time in high school, Emily participated in Health Occupations at the Sanilac Career Center, participated in Varsity Cheerleading, Varsity Girls Basketball, Softball and Track & Field.  She was also Class President, on National Honors Society, and Business Professionals of America.  Emily has helped with Marlette Community Project Rising Tide, Raider Aid, Marlette First United Methodist Church Sound/Audio Booth Volunteering, Marlette Park & Pool Swim Show, and American Red Cross & Michigan Blood drives.  Emily plans to attend University of Michigan – Flint this fall.

The Edward & Viviene Huntoon Memorial Scholarship was originally established in 2009 in memory of Edward, and this year, the scholarship was extended to also commemorate the life of his wife Viviene. The Huntoons were married May 24, 1947 and Marlette quickly became their home.

Mr. Huntoon was an active businessman in the Marlette area, Viviene was a member of the United Methodist Church, and they were always committed to the importance of education. Their family is happy to be able to support Marlette students in their effort to attain a college degree with this one-thousand-dollar scholarship.

This scholarship is administered through the Sanilac County Community Foundation (SCCF).  For more information on scholarship opportunities through the SCCF, contact Melissa Anderson, Executive Director, at the Foundation office at 810-648-3634.

For Good. For Ever.
