Estella Scott

Estella Scott of Mansfield, OH went home to be with the Lord, Sunday, August 19, 2012 with all five of her children by her side. Estella was born February 5, 1937 in Greenville, MS to Rev. John and Minnie (Gray) Lee. She moved to Mansfield and had lived here for the past 56 years. She accepted Christ at an early age and she loved the Lord with all her heart. She was a member of Providence Baptist Church. “Sweet Mother Dear” as she was lovingly referred to by her children was a wonderful mother. She enjoyed reading, listening to gospel and R&B music and her Banana Pudding and Macaroni and Cheese were mouth watering. When she was able, she enjoyed shopping and spending time with her family. All those who knew her will always remember her Nat King Cole -The Christmas Song CD that she played all throughout the holiday seasons. A kind hearted woman, she left an indelible mark on all who knew her and she will be dearly missed by her family.
