Barbara Scott, active church member
Barbara Scott, 78, of Millsboro, known to the community as “Mom Barb” or “Babs,” received her angel’s wings Saturday, Sept. 25, 2021, at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was the daughter of the late Ruth E. Hall and William Burton.
She retired from Delmarva Power & Light of Millsboro and was employed part time at Short’s Marine. She graduated from Jason High School. She was a dedicated member of Dickerson Chapel AME Church, Millsboro, where she served as a steward, and was a member of the finance committee and the senior choir.
Barbara was known to feed “the multitude” in the community. She was often referred to as “Meal on Wheels.” In her leisure time, she enjoyed Word Search books and watching old-time Westerns with Aunt Rachel, and her favorite pastime was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was always available to lend a helping hand to someone in need.
Barbara was preceded in death by husband, John Scott Sr.; two sons, John Scott Jr. and Bryan Scott; mother, Ruth E. Hall, and father, William Burton.
She leaves to cherish her memories: sisters, Brenda Justice (Harold) of Millsboro and Cecelia Dunning (Richard) of Dover; three daughters, Nikki Scott of Millsboro, Nona Scott-Senghor of Glen Burnie, Md., and Leslie Scott of Georgetown; one aunt, Rachel Powell of Dover; seven grandchildren, LeAnne, Nichole, Alexis, Aaron, Tori, Tiffany and Jayda; five great-grandchildren, Jeffrey, Jordyn, Amyre, Legacy and Asiah; two nephews, Richard and Kyle, and one niece, Tanya.
