Orleatha J. Scott-Walker

Orleatha Janice Scott-Walker, age 86, of Portage, IN passed away on Monday, April 11, 2016.

Orleatha was born on November 5, 1929 in Bradgate, Iowa.  She is survived by Ulie Leland Jr. (Pam) Scott, Bruce R. (Connie) Scott, Mona Haney-Parmley (David), Jeff (Sandy) Scott, and LaVonne (Ron) Ward; 11 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by the love of her life, Ulie Leland Sr., on September 26, 1984. 

Orleatha was a member of the Pentecostals of South Lake Church in Merrillville where she was active in out reaching to the needy in the area.  Some of her favorite hobbies included baking for her family and friends and walking a daily two miles, but her favorite hobby was sewing; she was an accomplished seamstress. Her personality affected all those around her and brought smiles to so many faces. She was a good wife, a good mother, a good grandmother, and a good Christian; she will be missed by so many family and friends.

We hope that you are able to join us in celebration of her life.
