Mr. Scott, the son of the late Charles and Rubye Kearbey Scott, was born July 1, 1928, in Poplar Bluff. 

He proudly served his country in the U. S. Army.  Mr. Scott was committed to Christ at Bethel Chapel Church and was a longtime farmer. Over the years he raised cattle and grew row crops and hay.  He also was a school bus driver and was well liked by all the kids who he could call by first names or nick names.  He loved to spend time with his family and was crazy about his grandchildren.

Mr. Scott was married to Betty Albritton on Feb. 3, 1951, in Poplar Bluff.  They recently celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary.  She survives.

Other survivors include their son Douglas R. (Jan) Scott; five grandchildren, Liberty Scott, Betsy Scott, Clare Scott, Eli Scott and Journey Scott; a brother Gene Scott; a sister Wilma Rains, of Poplar Bluff; and numerous nieces, nephews and a host of friends.

Two brothers, Roy Scott and Charles ‘Junior’ Scott, and a sister, Pauline Rains, also preceded Mr. Scott in death.
