Lois Elizabeth Crosby Scott

Lois Elizabeth Crosby Scott went home to be with her Lord and Savior on the morning of March 26, 2018. At 99 years of age, she was the proud matriarch “Mema” of her small family. Lois was born in a log cabin in Gordon, Alabama to Madie and Abraham Crosby on November 24, 1918. As a child, she attended Zoe school, a one-room schoolhouse, and later went on to graduate from Malone High School in 1935. Soon after her graduation, Lois married the love of her life, Thomas H. Scott and began her family in Bainbridge, Georgia. Shortly after the birth of their daughter Carolyn, they moved to Tallahassee, Florida where they lived together for over 50 years. After raising Carolyn, Lois worked in the Leon County Clerk of Circuit Courts office as a Deputy Clerk and retired after 21 years of service. Lois relocated to Ocoee, Florida in 1998 to be closer to her family. Everyone who knew Lois, knew her as a woman with great southern hospitality. There was always food on her table and something sweet to eat. Whether it was football players from FSU or clients Thomas brought home from the Ford place, she was always willing to set another plate. If you drank a cup of coffee with her, you were her friend. Throughout her life, Lois enjoyed growing vegetables in her garden and canning. Her passion, later in life, was playing cards with her friends and family. She was a long-time member of Immanuel Baptist Church in Tallahassee and a member of her Sunday School at her church in Central Florida, First Baptist Church of Windermere. She was preceded in death by her parents, her five siblings, and husband of 54 years (Thomas H. Scott). She is survived by her only daughter, Carolyn Scott Lynd (Craig), her granddaughter, Michele Forestt (Christopher), and her two great-grandchildren, Kendal Farwell (David) and Karter Wilmot. Funeral service will be held at 2:00 pm Friday, March 30, 2018, Bevis Funeral Home Chapel, 200 John Knox Road, Tallahassee. Visitation will be before the service from 1:00-2:00 pm. Interment will follow at Tallahassee Memory Gardens. Susie Mozolic of Bevis Funeral Home is assisting the family with their arrangements. (www.bevisfh.com 850-385-2193)
