Leonard Scott Obituary
Leonard Scott, a dedicated laborer born on May 11, 1934, in New Castle, departed from this world on November 22, 2025, in Louisville, KY, with his devoted family by his side. Leonard lived a life characterized by loyalty, hard work, and a deep love for those closest to him.
His career as a laborer for the government at the Hall of Justice showcased not only his commitment to his work but also his profound sense of duty. After graduating high school, Leonard built a solid foundation for himself, always striving to provide for his family. He was not just a worker; he was the backbone of his household, embodying the values of honesty and dedication.
As a loyal husband and devoted father, Leonard cherished each moment spent with his family. He took immense pride in watching his family grow, celebrating milestones and supporting them through life's challenges. His compassion extended to his role as a loving brother and grandfather, nurturing relationships that formed the fabric of his life.
Leonard’s interests were as vibrant as his personality. He found joy in playing horseshoes, shooting pool, and crafting canes, yet nothing compared to his profound love for sharing coffee and laughter with family. These moments, simple yet significant, reflected his genuine warmth and his strong connection with loved ones.
Leonard leaves behind his beloved daughter, Sarah (Virgil) White; his sons, Leonard (April Pfund) Scott, Jr. and Theodore Scott; and his brother, Sterling Scott, and many loving grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends and family. Each of them carries a piece of his legacy, cherishing the memories they created together.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Herman and Rachel Scott; wife Virginia Scott; wife Peggy Scott; his sons, Sterling Scott and Eugene Scott; and his daughters, Linda Smith, Debra Smith, and Jennette Scott. Leonard's departure leaves a void in their hearts, where his laughter and love will forever echo.
As we remember Leonard Scott, we celebrate a life well-lived. His dedication to family, his tireless work ethic, and the joy he found in the simplest of pleasures serve as a reminder to us all of the beauty that exists in loyalty, compassion, and love.
