Janice Mary Scott

Janice Mary Scott, 59, El Dorado Springs, passed away at Cedar County Memorial Hospital on Thursday, Nov. 26, 2009, after a very brave battle with cancer for the second time. She was born Sept. 23, 1950, to Glen Robert and Susan Mary (Carpenter) Gibbs in El Dorado Springs.

She was married to Scotty Scott on Dec. 14, 1966, and to this union two children were born: Tracy Dawn and Kevin Dale. Janice helped raise her grandchildren which she loved very much, as they did her.

Janice worked for several years at the shoe factory and the shirt factory in El Dorado Springs.

Nothing made Janice happier than spending time with her family. She was the most giving person. She was always doing special things for her kids and grandkids. She never expected anything in return. Janice enjoyed going to all sporting events that her son, brothers, nephews and grandkids played in. She never was bashful about cheering them on. She also enjoyed playing softball with her family at family get-togethers. Other activities she enjoyed were putting puzzles together, card games and listening to and dancing to music.

Preceding Janice in death were her parents; her daughter, Tracy; one brother, Kelly Gibbs; and one nephew, Daniel Reeder.
