Obituary for Viola (Emma) Scott
In Loving Memory of Viola (Emma) Scott
September 6, 1922-January 18, 2020
Passed away peacefully at Hyland Crest Senior Citizens Home, Minden on Saturday, January 18th, 2020, at the age of 97, with declining health and after a fall earlier in the week.
Beloved wife of Archie Scott (deceased 2011)) for almost 60 years. Dearly loved mother of Debra Scott (Roger) of Haliburton, Wayne Thompson (Tanis) of Cannington, Sandi Martyn of Stouffville, and predeceased by daughters Lynn Margaret (1944) and Sheila Bennett (1996). Sadly missed by grandchildren Cynthia Martyn; Tanya and Tammy Thompson; Jennifer, Joe, Julie and Jordana Graham. She was proud to have 8 great-grandchildren. Pre-deceased by sister Elizabeth Sheard, as well as brothers MD Cameron and LV Cameron, all previously of the Georgian Bay area.
Vi was a strong, hard-working and determined lady her whole life. She and Archie were owners of two restaurants, Scotty’s Green Acres (West Guilford), and Scotty’s Country Kitchen (Maple Lake). Mom also worked as a cook at the Hockey Haven, Camp Wanakita, and Hyland Crest. Vi was known for her gardens, and was thrilled to win first prize in her first entry at the Minden Flower Show. She learned to do folk art when she retired and spent many hours creating treasures that her family enjoys in their homes.
We are blessed to have had her for such a long life. For so many reasons, she will be greatly missed by her family, and we will miss the many outings, laughter and adventures we had with her over many years
Friends are invited to visit the family at the Gordon A. Monk Funeral Home Ltd., 127 Bobcaygeon Rd., P.O.
