Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. Proverbs 3:17

Shirley Kyker Scott, age 87, Johnson City, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Monday, October 24, 2022 at the Johnson City Medical Center.

Naturally elegant, aways humble. Hard working to a fault. Soft spoken, with the biggest, most loving heart of anyone you could ever meet. Always a blessing to her family, and no matter what, she accepted and loved you for exactly the person you were.

From exciting adventures over the years, to quiet nights just relaxing, being with her anywhere would always bring a sense of comfort and peace.

Even though our hearts are broken, it’s a comfort knowing she is overjoyed at the reunion in Heaven she’s now a part of; especially with her son Jerry, who held an extra special place in her heart.

She was, without a shadow of a doubt, the most precious, loving, and wonderful: Mom, Wife, Sister, Mamaw, Aunt, Cousin, and Friend, anyone could ever be blessed with. It just so happens, thanks to the good Lord above, we were the lucky ones.

As you ascend to heaven, our hearts go with you. We love you Momma.

Mrs. Scott was born on March 3, 1935 to the late Harold and Macie Cloyd Elliott.
