Mary Jo Barda Scott

Jim, John, Elizabeth, and families, We are so very sorry to learn of Mary Jo´s passing. We were truly fortunate to call her a friend, neighbor, and NAVSEA colleague. Mary Jo spoke often and lovingly of her family, and we always enjoyed hearing her stories about you all. At NAVSEA, she was one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated acquisition professionals, generously mentoring the BFM community and setting a high standard for financial planning, execution, and budgeting. Mary Jo led by...

I worked with Mary Jo for many years and considered her a good friend. She left an indelible mark on an entire generation of financial managers at NAVSEA and the Navy is better for it. She was an absolute character and will be sorely missed.

A friend for many years.

Wonderful young lady God rest her soul!

Mary Jo was an amazing person who touched the lives of everyone she met at NAVSEA. With deepest condolences. Sam

MJ, I were my rock at work and a tremendous friend outside the office. I loved how you scared people when they came for resourcing when all you were doing was preparing them how to properly defend their programs and answer the hard questions from higher echelons going forward. I will forever miss you and your smile. You passion for art was so peaceful and beautiful. My deepest condolences to your extended family and you all will be in my prayers.

Beautiful person, wonderful friend and consummate professional. God bless you MJ and thank you.

I worked down the hall from Mary Jo, and when I passed by her office, she would always speak. No matter how many pieces of paper she had on her desk, she knew where everything was, and she knew her job. There was nothing she couldn´t do at NAVSEA, she was the Queen of information and may she rest in peace, job well done Mary Jo, job well done!
