Thelma Louise Scott was born and raised in Timpson, where she absolutely loved. She felt at home, where she has always been, amongst the beauty that can only be found right here in her beloved East Texas.

Thelma was a daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother. Her happiness came with the work of her hands in her beautiful flower beds. She enjoyed nothing more than potting and repotting, planting and growing every flower or plant, she could. She was the green thumb in the family. Her perfectly kept yard was something to be proud of and the envy of everyone. However, the most beautiful and well loved "flowers" in her garden of life, were her two granddaughters, Kinley and Kaylee. The love she had for them could not be measured. They were her sunshine every day and the one thing she looked forward to with each breath she took. She also had a special bond with her cat, Lucky. And even though he bit her all the time, she still loved him!

Thelma was a member of Hiway Tabernacle in Timpson where she spent time worshiping and praising her Lord, along with the many friends she had there. She will be missed, but the love she has shown will forever be a great memory to those surrounding her.

Thelma is survived by her daughter Wendy Coats & husband James; grandchildren, Kinley Coats and Kaylee Coats; sisters, Helen Cruse and Eva Lewis & husband David and her brothers, Thomas Hutto, Rex Hutto & wife Gwen and Ray Hutto & wife Mary.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Wendell J. Scott; parents, Marie Hutto and Freddie Hutto and brothers, Jerry Cordova and Roy Hutto.

Serving as pallbearers will be Randy Mora, Lewis Mora, Danny Pate, Shaun Milford, Royce Coats and Jessie McKelvy. Honorary pallbearers are Cutter Wright Jr. and Stanley Amos.

The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the staff at Willowbrook Nursing Home for their love and care of Thelma.
