Naomi Irene Scott

From the memorial service:
"We each live but a moment in the life of the world.
A pebble may fly and drop into a pool in the blink of an eye.
Consider:
The ripples of the pebble's passing extend ever widening, touching the branch, the lily, the sunbeam dancing on the surface, the fish underneath, even the shore.
Each time we gaze at the beauty of a sunset, dig into the soil to make a garden, appreciate a well written passage, look for the truth in a complex jumble of ideas,...

Naomi Irene Scott was my grandmother and last living grandparent. Although I only got to meet her in person once she will always be very dear to me. What I do know about her is that she was a amazing and inspiring women who set an example of healthy living.
My father Dan Scott (her youngest son) still to this day grows a organic garden and has shared with me a love for good organic food. This is what has been passed down from her to me and now I get to carry this light and share it with...

A life-long teetotaler, Grammie had 16 classifications of household disposal, recycling years before it was in fashion. She continued her university studies in nutrition, finding a dietary cure for the symptoms of diabetes, at least for Poppie, and managed herself to live nearly 40 years with severe food allergies on dietary supplements, green beans, brown rice, peanut butter, egg whites, wheat bran, yogurt, and goats milk (from an animal not in heat), with no more than a thimble of anything...

Grammy was my last living grandparent. She lived a full life. My memory of her is that she was always looking out for Poppy and taking care of others. She was a kind soul.

I can remember family reunions at Aunt Hattie and Uncle Clint's farm on the Covered Bridge Road in Unadilla. All of us kids rode in a cart pulled by the pony "Jim Dandy' I can remember the boys (Larry and Dan) waving to their parents and the big smiles that brought to Aunt Naomi and Uncle Lew's faces. May you all feel God's warm Loving Arms wrapped tightly around you and may He give you Peace, Love and Strength in the coming months. Sending much love from Texas.

For all of you far away who cannot join us in the memorial service, here is one of the special songs we have selected for the service because it recalls to us Naomi's personal faith. The beautiful Irish melody reminds us of the Irish connections in our family and Naomi's newest great-granddaughter Tara.

and a beautiful music version is...

We will all miss Naomi Scott for her
lovely smile and positive attitude ,
she always gave to those who needed her help and she helped many . If we had an army of Naomi's
we could save this world tomorrow ,
and perhaps that is what it is going to take .
She lived a full life and a good life
and surely the Lord will have a mansion for her and Lewis there in
Heaven .
God Bless You Naomi

I will remember Naomi as a friendly smiling woman who always offered her help and had interest in others.
