Barbara Ann Scott, 76, of Lake of the Woods, Locust Grove, passed peacefully into the arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with her family at her side on Sunday, Nov. 29, 2009 at Culpeper Hospital.
Born in New York City on Feb. 13, 1933, Barbara became a dedicated housewife, successfully raising five children in Alexandria. Upon her husband's retirement from the government, she moved to one of her favorite places, Jekyll Island, Ga., for 10 years where she could walk the beaches and practice her crafts and handiwork.
In recent years, the Scotts moved back to Virginia, settling in Lake of the Woods, to be closer to family and enjoy an active community.
She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Haag; five children, Susan Weiford and her husband, Doug, Harry Scott and his wife, Cathy, Matthew Scott and his wife, Jean, Debbie Rubino and her husband, Chris, and Beth Shealy and her husband, Bryan; seven grandchildren; three great-grandsons; her sister Joan Cuomo; nephew Joseph Cuomo and his wife, Heather, and a great-niece; and niece Michelle Kerrigan and her husband, Bob.
Barbara is best remembered for her faith and considered healthy eating her ministry believing in "Jehovah God's Healing Diet" (Genesis 1:29). She enjoyed all of nature and found great peace in sunrise walks on the beach. She enjoyed traveling around the States and overseas, particularly her visit to Israel. Barbara loved her family and found great joy in visits with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and was eagerly looking forward to the birth of another great-grandson in the spring.
A memorial service is planned for Saturday, Dec. 5, at 11 a.m. at Johnson Funeral Home, Locust Grove, with the Rev. Robert Regan officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Family Care Home Health & Hospice, 610 Laurel St., Suite 2, Culpeper, Va. 22701. Online guest book is available at johnsoncares.com.
