Ethel Lee Scott was born August 27, 1928, to the proud parents of Robert and Ethel Johnson in
Pickens, Mississippi. Ethel was the fifth born of seven siblings in her family. During the mid 1950’s Ethel moved from Pickens, Mississippi to be closer to her sisters and brothers in Chicago, Illinois.

In Chicago, Ethel began her 40-year work career employed at various companies including, Barr and Staffing Company, Solo Cup Company and McCormick Place Convention Center. From there, Ethel went on to expand her skills to serve as a home healthcare worker helping others. During these final 10 years before her retirement, she worked to better the lives of fellow seniors. Ethel shared her time and love reaching out to help wherever possible. Ethel’s capacity for love and affection touched so many others. But none more than the family she
loved and cared about so much. Her deep devotion to her children was undeniable. Despite working full- time, Ethel made her three sons, James, Gregory, and Danny, a top priority in her life. As their biggest supporter, she was the proud mother at every baseball game cheering her boys on or the dutiful mother helping them throw papers on their paper route. No matter how hectic her work life, she was always right by her children’s side. On June 14,1980, Ethel married her life partner Arthur Scott. Arthur and

Ethel shared 32 wonderful years of marriage together, until his passing. Ethel looked forward to her annual trips to Hot Springs, Arkansas with her sister Lillian and her visits to Sacramento, California to see her eldest son, James. Those she loved were key in her life. Ethel’s faith was near and dear to her heart. She was a faithful member of Carey Temple AME
Church since the 1970’s. Ethel was active in the church and a dedicated member of the Senior Usher Board and the August Birth month club right up until she fell ill.

Ethel gave love but was also showered with love and support from her family, friends, and church family until she was called home on January 18, 2022.
