Thelma Scott

1922 – 2015

Thelma (Johnson) Scott passed away on December 13, 2015 in Ogden, Utah. Thelma was born on September 26, 1922 in Queen City, Texas to Major Johnson Sr. and Olievier (Richie) Scott. Thelma married E.G Scott on October 10, 1946 and they were happily married for 61 years until E.G’s passing in 2007. Thelma lived a long and beautiful life. She loved to cook and often her home was the stop for people to come by and enjoy her amazing greens, cornbread and her famous pound cake. She loved to study and read her Bible and you could always catch her humming or singing an old hymnal with the biggest smile on her face. She had a deep love for the Lord!

Thelma was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Major Johnson, her husband E.G Scott and her son Willie Scott. She is survived in death by her son Eddie F. Scott and daughter-in-law Keri Scott of Centennial, Colorado. Her four grandchildren Natalie (Ellis) Scott of Ogden, Utah, Eddie F. Scott II of Salt Lake City, Utah, Chalaunda M.

She is also survived by a number of nieces, nephews and in-laws that truly loved her and will miss her dearly.

The family would like to say a tremendous thank you to Manor Care of Ogden, Utah and Applegate Hospice who was there supporting and caring for her in her last days.
