She was preceded in death by four brothers, Arthur Quade, Leonard Quade, Don Quade and Ben Quade; one brother-in-law, Bill Scott; three sister-in-laws, Judy Scott, Judy Quade and Helen Quade and a great-granddaughter, Hallie Beard.

Mrs. Scott was born July 15, 1935, in Jasper, Mo., to Ben and Rosa (Beerly) Quade. She was a 1952 graduate of Carthage High School and married James Whitney Scott on Jan. 28, 1955, in Columbus, Kan.

She spent most of her life working a dairy farm with her husband and four sons, but she also took on many jobs outside of the home that she greatly enjoyed. One of the most worthwhile was as a cook at Golden City schools. She loved getting to see the kids everyday and spend time working with her good friends. Before retiring she also spent many years working in the office at MFA Propane in Lockwood. 

Mrs. Scott loved to keep busy. She devoted most of her time to her family, hosting countless holiday dinners and spending her days loving on her grandkids and watching them all play sports. Through the years she also spent a lot of time with close friends, doing anything from square dancing to cooking for the Lamar Rotary Club. The last few years of her life she and her family spent every Christmas shopping for shoes for elementary students at Golden City schools and it brought so much joy to her life to be able to do this for them and see the happiness this brought the kids. She truly led an extraordinary life.
