Martha Scott Obituary

Martha Hoffman Scott left this world to be with the Lord and her husband Ray on August 13th 2022. She leaves behind 3 sons Dan (Susan), Alan and Steve (Robin) along with 3 grandchildren, Matt (Amanda), Wynton and Zoe Scott. Martha was predeceased by her grandson Ben Scott and brother Rev. William Hoffman. She also leaves behind a nephew, Bill Hoffman, two nieces Betsy Hoffman and Mary Crook. Martha was a longtime member of St. Brides Episcopal Church in Chesapeake, VA.

The family will have a private service and requests in lieu of flowers contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society.

The family would like to extend their special thanks to Mom's Hospice nurse, Suzanne Smith who made our Mothers journey much easier.

My condolences to the entire Scott Family. Although I first met Martha over 37 years ago, it was in the late 1990´s and early 2000´s that I really got to know her from traveling abroad with Martha. She was the most pleasant lady and she always would remind me that our travels abroad ( with or without working a/c!) was "just part of the journey!" Most recently we discussed various health issues we both had been experiencing and her comment
to that was "Man´s plans are not always a part of God´s plans!" Such a wise woman who taught me so much with so few words! I am so thankful that Martha was included as a part of my life! May you Rest In Peace, Martha...
