Lucy Bourland Scott
Lucy Dale Bourland Scott, 95, passed away on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 at North Mississippi Medical Center. Born in Amory, MS, on September 22, 1922, she was a daughter of the late Ebenezer Carroll and Eva Mae English Bourland.
She graduated from Amory High School and attended Mississippi State College for Women in Columbus. She married the late F. Wallace Scott on January 6, 1945. They were married for 55 wonderful years. Together, Wallace and Lucy had 5 children. She and Wallace loved raising their children together. Her passion was being a good wife and loving mother. When the girls were little, she enjoyed sewing and smocking for them. As her children grew and had families of their own it was their
joy to have everyone gather at home as often as possible. Other pastimes she enjoyed was participating in bridge club and she was also a founding member of the Century Club. She and Wallace loved to dance and were members of the Dance Club.
Lucy was gracious and soft spoken, but she had a wittiness and humorous way with words that she kept all her life. She had a nurturing manner and she enjoyed feeding and watching birds and tending her flower gardens.
Her greatest passion was her faith in God. She was a lifelong member of First United Methodist Church in Amory. She led her life by the words of Christ. One of her favorite quotes was, "Life’s greatest tragedy is to lose God and not miss him."
Survivors are daughters: Lynn Haley (Johnnie), Amory; Dale Stanford, Tupelo; Semmie Wicker (Tom), Tupelo; daughter-in-law, Minnie Scott, Amory; nine grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews. She was blessed with sitters who dearly loved her and who she loved as well.
