O. Lavone Scott 'Sis'

O. Lavone Scott “Sis”, 87, Kansas City, KS, passed away Oct. 21, 2010, at her home.

She lived her life with grace and believed that the best was always ahead. When most people would have folded under the pain and grief that so often came her way, she did not waver – in fact, she held us all close and promised a brighter tomorrow.

Her laugh was infectious, her compassion unending, her resolve inspiring.

To you, she was the special neighbor, the dear friend, the older sister who could make sense of disorder, the aunt that completed the family and gave it heart and soul.

To me, she was Mom and so much more. She was my best friend.

I know someday she will take my hand again and I will thank the heavens for that glorious reunion.

Thank you, Mom, Sis, Lavon for loving us. Rest now, dear lady.

Lavone was preceded in death by her son, William Randy Scott; her husband, George T. Scott; and her parents, Richard and Ethel Craven.

Survivors include her son, Donald Scott; brother, Robert Ual Craven, and niece, Joy Dobbs, and husband, Rick, and their sons, Travis and Lucas Dobbs.

Private graveside services were held on Monday, Oct. 25, at Maple Hill Cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
