Nettie J. Scott, 63, peacefully answered the call to come Home on Sunday January 14, 2007 with her son Kenneth Yogi Scott and daughter-in-law Amy Scott by her side. Mrs. Scott passed after enduring a long, difficult battle with cancer. She remained courageous and faithful throughout her challenging journey.
She was born on February 14, 1943 in Rosston, AR. She spent her childhood and early adult years in the Little Rock area before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1970's. She worked and retired from FMC where she assembled Bradley tanks for the military. Mrs. Scott eventually settled down in Modesto where she called home for the remaining years of her life. Throughout her life, Mrs. Scott enjoyed cooking, dancing and spending time with her family and friends. Mrs. Scott lived a rich, full life and will be dearly missed by all those who were blessed to have connected with her along her journey.
Mrs. Scott is survived by her sons, George Edward Scott, Jr. of Modesto; and Kenneth Earl Scott and wife, Amy, of Discovery Bay; six grand children, Derrick , Destiny , Darius , and Delia Scott all of Discovery Bay; Joseph Scott of Stockton and Jessica Scott of St. Louis, MO; sister, Pearline Barnes Jones, of Ceres; brother, and Ruben Dale Hampton, of San Francisco.
Mrs. Scott was preceded in death by her loving mother, Lorene Middleton.
Services will be held at 11 am Friday January 26, 2007 at Second Baptist Church 529 California Ave, Modesto, CA. Internment will follow services at Lakewood Memorial Park in Hughson. All are welcome to return to Second Baptist Church as we celebrate the life of Nettie Scott with food and fellowship. Salas Brothers Funeral Chapel in Modesto is handling all funeral arrangements. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to: Kenneth Scott, 3526 Keystone Loop, Discovery Bay, CA 94514 or to a charity of the donor's choice.
almost a year
It's been a long hard year and when i sit and think of all we've been though how much we lost when God chose you to be the next one of our family to join him leaving us behind to shed a sea of tears .. My Dear Aunt Netti it just makes me realize just how much more each day i miss you.. christmas is approching and it's so hard without you because your laughter and personality kept me laughing so hard i'd b in tears.. But the one thing that makes my soal quite down and consouls my fears is knowing that your pain on earth is over and your spirit still lives here.. your up in heaven now with the others that have past feeling now none of the pain or fear. At least i can smile cause i know your with my mommy now and you watch over her and i have nothing to fear.. I love you and miss you so much ... please let my mom know.. i wish she never went away but i understand and i know she keeps in touch..
The Dash
I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of his friend.
He referred to the dates on her tombstone from the beginning ...to the end.
He noted that first came the date of her birth and spoke of the second with tears.
But he said that what mattered most of all was the "dash" between those years.
For that dash represents all the time that she spent alive on this earth.
And now, only those who loved her know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not how much we own: the cars, the house, the cash.
What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our "dash".
So think about this long and hard. Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left. You could be at "dash-mid-range".
If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and what's real.
And always try to understand the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger, and show appreciation more.
And love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect, and more often wear a smile.
Remembering that this special "dash" might only last a while.
So when your eulogy is being read with your life's actions to rehash.
Will you be pleased with the things they have to say about how you spent your "dash"?
DO Something Nice For Someone Today In Remembrence Of Netti Scott
I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.
