Kathleen Ellen Scott

Kathleen Ellen Scott Chili: July 24, 1953- March 29, 2026 Cherished sister, proud aunt and loving friend, with her family surrounding, passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus. Kathy will be most remembered for her incredible faith and her entrustment of her spirit in Gods care. Beyond Kathy’s large biological family, Kathy was blessed with her Heritage Christian services home for over 33 years. Here she had countless peer friendships and support staff whom she loved and trusted dearly. In Kathy’s younger years, she was a proud Girl Scout, served in church nursery caring for the babies, was an avid bowler and was thrilled to have her picture taken with Don Alhart with her trophy. More recently you would find her working on her math skills, crafting, couponing, dot to dot puzzles. Kathy was known for sending lengthy, handwritten cards with love and encouragement to every family member. They were the best gifts we each received. Kathy loved her church, which she was a member of for 68 years. Grounded in her faith, despite many health challenges, she found strength in the gospel and maintained a personal devotion. Kathy’s smile would light up a room, that made you feel instantly loved. She was loyal, faithful, forgiving, courageous, accepting and a compassionate woman. Her presence will be sorely missed but we celebrate the love, joy and kindness that were the essence of her being. Predeceased by her parents, Gordon and Margaret Scott; and nephews, Ryan Maher and Scott Doughty. Survived by siblings, Karen Bovee, Christine (Thomas) Doughty, Lynn (Mark) Maher, Kammie Scott and Gary Palmer Scott; loving and adored nieces and nephews, Libby (Jason) Hart, Jill (Check) Kam, Amanda (Sam) Duritza, Alyssa (Roberto) Stolfa, John Tarricone, Taylor (Phil) Rappold and Jordan Scott; cherished great-nieces and nephews, Hannah, Charles, Emma, Abigail, Lincoln, Finley, Elia, Lola, Lenni, Colby, Lainey, Mason and Riley; and precious aunts and uncles.
