Bobbie June (Boyd) Scott
Bobbie June (Boyd) Scott, 81, long-time resident of North Webster, passed away on Friday, June 5, 2015, in I.U. Goshen Hospital after an illness. She was born Sept. 29, 1933, to Thomas Franklin and Nora (Warden) Boyd in Tishomingo, Okla.
She lived in Okla. and N. M. before joining the U.S. Army in 1954. Shortly after her discharge, she met and married James W. “Jim” Scott in Fort Wayne on June 29, 1957, where they lived briefly before moving to North Webster. She worked in banking in Fort Wayne, Pierceton and North Webster. Later in life, she worked for Helvey and Associates in Warsaw. She was a member of the American Legion Post 253 in North Webster.
She is survived by her sons: Mark (Donna) Scott, Syracuse; Brian Scott, North Webster and her beloved cat: Tut; as well as many friends and extended family.
She was preceded in death by her husband: Jim Scott, in 1977; and an infant daughter: Jo Ellen; her parents; brothers: M.F.; Guy; Pete; and Carl; her sisters: Dale; Hariell; Mona.
She was a fun loving, adventurous, independent sprit with a great sense of humor and was known for striking up a conversation with anyone, any place and at any time. She was most thankful for all of her friends that would stop by to visit, go out to eat or accompany her on whatever daily adventure she could think of. Finally, she would like to share her daily prayer, a piece of advice we might all heed, “Thank you Lord for giving me another day and please don’t let me screw it up.”
A celebration of life gathering will be held from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. Thursday, June 11, at Owen Family Funeral Home, North Webster. Cremation will take place at Cremation Services of Kosciusko County. Private burial will take place on Wednesday, June 17, in the Mock Addition of the Mock Addition of the North Webster Cemetery with military honors by the North Webster American Legion.
Memorials may be made to Bobbie Scott Funeral Fund, care of the Owen Family Funeral Home, or to their charity of choice.
