Scott Nolan Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by South Carolina Cremation Society - West Columbia on Feb. 6, 2026.
Scott Nolan, 92, of Lexington, South Carolina, formerly of Pontotoc, Mississippi, passed away after a long and meaningful life. Born January 16, 1934, to Clarence Vernon Nolan and Flouda Gilbert Nolan in Pontotoc, Mississippi, he carried a quiet strength and a generous heart.

Scott proudly served his country in the National Guard, where he demonstrated dedication, discipline, and a steadfast sense of duty that remained with him throughout his life.

Preceded in death by his daughter Paula Gurien (2013), his daughter Nancy Metz, and his wife Mary Perrill Nolan, Scott's legacy of love and resilience lives on in the family he cherished so deeply.

Survivors include his loving children:

He is also survived by 29 grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren, who will remember him with fondness and gratitude for the life lessons he shared and the stories he told.

A memorial service will be held in March 2026 in Olive Branch, Mississippi. Details for the service will be announced by the family.

Scott's family extends heartfelt thanks to all who offered prayers, support, and kindness during his life and in

his passing. He will be deeply missed, but his memory will continue to inspire and sustain those who loved him.
