Obituary for Florence V. Scott
FLORENCE VIRGINIA SCOTT was called to eternal rest on April 29, 2011 at the Centra Southside Community Hospital in Farmville, Virginia. Daughter of the late Alice Duncan Eppes and William Sydnor Eppes, Florence was born November 15, 1919 in Nottoway County, Virginia. Being the fifth of thirteen children, Florence attended Nottoway Public Schools.
In 1940, she married Samuel Scott, who preceded her in death and from this union they had three children, Carolyn T. Blount, William Floyd Jackson Scott and the late Barbara Scott-Crowley. They lived in New York and New Jersey. Florence worked in New Jersey for a number of years before retiring and returning back to Crewe in 1980. She spent her life being a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to many. Her witty frankness, but yet calm candid demeanor is most known of Florence, but her laughter and her genuine kindness will not be forgotten.
She was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Barbara Jones but leaves behind to cherish her memory: her daughter, Carolyn T. Blount of New Jersey; her son, William Floyd Jackson Scott of Kenbridge, Virginia; one sister, Helen Smith of Durham, North Carolina; her devoted grandson, Frederick Bernard Crowley of Crewe, Virginia; one granddaughter, Aleceia Blount of New Jersey; great grandsons, Ali-Sa’d, Ai-Iahteef, Tajiddin of Richmond, Virginia, Al-Hajj and Tahmir from Nottoway County; nine great-great grandchildren; two sisters-in-law, Easter Eppes of Lunenburg, Virginia and Marie Eppes of North Carolina; a host of loving nieces, nephews, and friends of New Jersey and Virginia.
