Beth Marie (Williams) Scott passed away on July 15, 2021 at the age of 89. She was born in Smith Center, KS the daughter of Zelma (Bierman) and Roy Williams.
Beth grew up and attended school in Smith Center, graduating in 1950. Soon after graduation, she married Sidner Scott on December 31, 1951. They recently celebrated their 70th anniversary. To this union were born two children, Cindy and Waverly.
Beth and Sid lived on the family farm in Smith County for several years, later moving to Boulder, CO where Beth worked as a loan officer and bookkeeper for the Boulder Valley School Credit Union for seven years, and office manager and bookkeeper for a law firm for twenty-one years. After Beth and Sid retired, they moved back to Smith Center where they continued farming for several more years.
Beth was a very devoted and active member of the various churches she attended. Singing was her passion. She was a member of Garden Lore Club, and enjoyed gathering with close friends.
Beth was also a member of the International Flying Farmers and Ranchers Organization where she served as International Duchess for one year, flying all over the United States and Canada with her husband in their small plane, promoting the organization and encouraging the spouses to learn to land the plane. She was one of those spouses. They were blessed to enjoy the love of travel earlier in their lives and added many pins to their travel map.
She was very close to her five grandchildren while they were growing up, especially supporting them in all their academic and athletic activities. In later years, she was a dedicated grandmother and great-grandmother.
Preceding her in death was daughter, Cindy (Scott) Brennan and husband Terry; son, Waverly Scott and daughter-in-law, Jayne (Rietzke) Scott; sister Dona Kirby and her parents.
