SCOTT
Elsie Jean Scott
Elsie Jean Scott, a former Davis resident, died in her sleep at Saylor Lane Nursing Center in Sacramento on Nov. 15, 2003, of respiratory failure and complications from Parkinson's disease. She was 97.
She was born Elsie Garson in Guelph, Ontario, on Aug. 6, 1906, the first child of W.A. and Agnes Garson. Her family later immigrated to Buffalo, Wyo., where she grew up and, in 1925, graduated high school.
A woman of fiercely independent spirit, her family said that when she was in her 20s she earned money to support her dream of attending college by teaching in what were called "normal schools" -- rugged, isolated one-room schools such as Gilbertson, Wallow Creek and the 41 Ranch in Johnson County, Wyo.
She served a term as Johnson County superintendent of schools before graduating from the University of Wyoming in 1938. She also attended Iowa State University and Claremont College.
She marriage Frank W. Scott in 1941. They lived on their cattle ranch and wheat farm north of Fort Laramie, Wyo.
She continued teaching in the Lingle, Wyo., and Fort Laramie schools until 1974, when the couple retired and moved to Davis to be close to their son and grandchildren. She was widowed in 1977.
In addition to her lifelong commitment to education, she was active in Wyoming's agricultural extension service, including many years of 4-H leadership. She also served a term as president of the Wyoming Home Demonstration Council, during which she was a U.S. delegate to the International Association of Country Women of the World conference in what was then Ceylon.
During her years here, she was involved in the Davis Camera Club and the Presbyterian Women's Circle, various volunteer activities and caring for her grandchildren. She was a Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes winner in 1987 -- and the "winners' weekend" events in New York City were among of her life's highlights.
Her deteriorating health necessitated a move to assisted living in Sacramento's Trinity House in 1989. Though physically incapacitated for many years, her family said, she remained alert and aware until the end.
She is survived by her sister, Aileen Garson Kuzara of San Jose; son, F. Eugene Scott and his wife Susan of Sacramento; grandson, Torry Christian Scott of Austin, Texas; granddaughter, Erena Scott Zerger of Minneapolis; and four great-grandsons.
A private family service is planned and her cremated remains will be interred in Fort Laramie.
