Carol Scott Obituary
1944 ~ 2026
Midvale, UT-
Carol Mead Scott was born on December 25, 1944, in Los Angeles, California. She passed away peacefully on February 27, 2026, in Midvale, Utah, after a courageous seven-year battle with cancer, surrounded by her devoted husband, Jim, and her daughter, Christina.
She was raised in Sterling, Kansas, one of seven children born to Harry and Myrtle Mead, who preceded her in death, as did her beloved daughter, Karrie.
Carol began her higher education at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, where she formed lifelong friendships. She later completed the coursework for a Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Maryland. Though she ultimately chose to leave academia, she went on to build a distinguished career in public service, rising to senior leadership roles in the administration of the Medicare program.
Brilliant and quick-witted, Carol had a gift for friendship and left a lasting impression wherever she went. She delighted in foreign travel, learning new languages, classical music, fine literature, gardening, and cooking.
Above all, Carol cherished her family. She found her greatest happiness in supporting her children and took particular pride and joy in her grandchildren and their accomplishments.
She is survived by her loving husband, Jim; her children, Christina Jones (Tate), Allison Lance (Ryan), and Matthew Scott (Jessica); and her grandchildren, Cameron, Anderson, Callahan, and Grace.
A gathering of family and friends to celebrate Carol's life will be held later this spring.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in her memory to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
