NETTIE JEAN SCOTT FEB. 14, 1943 - JAN. 14, 2007 MODESTO-- Nettie J. Scott, 63, peacefully answered the call to come Home on Sunday January 14, 2007 with her son Kenneth Yogi Scott and daughter-in-law Amy Scott by her side. Mrs. Scott passed after enduring a long, difficult battle with cancer. She remained courageous and faithful throughout her challenging journey.

She was born on February 14, 1943 in Rosston, AR. Mrs. Scott spent her childhood and early adult years in the Little Rock area before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1970's. She worked and retired from FMC where she assembled Bradley tanks for the military. Mrs. Scott eventually settled down in Modesto where she called home for the remaining years of her life. Throughout her life, Mrs. Scott enjoyed cooking, dancing and spending time with her family and friends. Mrs. Scott lived a rich, full life and will be dearly missed by all those who were blessed to have connected with her along her journey.

Mrs. Scott is survived by her sons, George Edward Scott, Jr. of Modesto; and Kenneth Earl Scott and wife, Amy, of Discovery Bay; six grand children, Derrick Scott, Destiny Scott, Darius Scott, and Delia Scott all of Discovery Bay; Joseph Scott of Stockton and Jessica Scott of St. Louis, MO; sister, Pearline Barnes Jones, of Ceres; brother, and Ruben Dale Hampton, of San Francisco.

Mrs. Scott was preceded in death by her loving mother, Lorene Middleton.

Services will be held at 11 am Friday January 26, 2007 at Second Baptist Church 529 California Ave, Modesto, CA. Internment will follow services at Lakewood Memorial Park in Hughson.
