Marcia Scott

Marcia Ann Scott, age 89, passed away on February 22, 2022 at Senior Class Community Memory Care in Pequot Lakes, MN. She was born to Maxwell and Pauline (Brooke) Woodward in Clarinda, Iowa, the youngest of 2 children. Marcia was a member of the Methodist Church and P.E.O. She was an avid painter throughout her life. She especially enjoyed china painting and was a member of the IL China Painters Guild. In her retirement, Marcia acted in theater productions and is fondly remembered for the roles she played.

Marcia was united in marriage to Robert “Bob” Beman Scott, her high school sweetheart, on January 20, 1952 in Villisca, IA. She graduated from Villisca High School in 1950. Marcia worked outside the home and eventually Bob’s career moved the family to MN.  In 1972, the family moved to Kankakee, IL, where Bob and Marcia opened a Plywood Minnesota franchise and worked side by side. They both retired in 1993 and purchased a winter home in Mesa, AZ. After 45 years in IL, they returned to MN, where they enjoyed living on a small lake.

Cherishing her memory are her daughters, Merilee Scott Eckhardt (husband Marty) of Sacramento, CA, Melinde (Mindi) Scott of Pequot Lakes, MN, and grandson Maxwell “Max” Eckhardt of Sacramento, CA.
