Lula June Scott, 90, Claypool, passed away Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018.

She was born to the late Edward and Edna Ragon on Jan. 21, 1927 in Lawrenceville, Ill. She married the late Estel “Ike” C. Scott, a U.S. Army and WWII veteran, in 1946, and they lived most of their lives in the Burket-Claypool area.

Her true passion in life was her family, who feel truly blessed and honored to have known June as an enduring model of faith, love, kindness and sacrifice. Her whimsical, cheeky spirit brought immeasurable joy and laughter to her family.
