Jimmye Scott Panno, resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, died on January 12, 2020, at the age of 94. Beloved wife of the late Sam Panno Jr. and mother of son the late Sammy Panno. She was born in Ruckertown, Alabama on April 24, 1925 to the late Rucker Scott and CatieBell Golson Scott, one of ten children.
Throughout her life, she maintained devotion to her family and in true southern fashion welcomed all into her home as such. She enjoyed cooking, maintaining her home, raising her children, entertaining family near and far and shared her wisdom in order to pass on family values and tradition to future generations. Also, she will be remembered for her quiet, witty sense of humor that seemed out of character but was endearing. Her sense of responsibility to family and country was reflected when she served during the war effort at home in place of the men called up to serve.
A soft spoken, humble and unassuming mother. She always put aside her own feelings and needs for her family, friends and guests. She made everyone in her presence feel special and was known for asking, “Is there anything I can do for you,” even in her final days. She truly was a remarkable woman who enriched the lives of all those she knew.
She is survived by son Jimmy (Patti), daughter Sandra (Kenny), daughter Sharon (Nick), son Joe, seven grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren, brother Terry Scott, and several nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Funeral Mass at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd in New Orleans, on Friday, January 17, 2020 at 2 p.m. Visitation will begin at 12 p.m.
