Virginia Adell Scott

Filer-Virginia Adell Scott, 90 passed away in her home March 24, 2009. The oldest of eight children, Virginia Adell Ripley was born February 26, 1919 in Butte, MT. When she was 18 she married Floyd Scott, and later they had two boys, Gary and Louis. In 1950 the family headed to the warmer climate of Tucson, AZ. In Tucson she worked many jobs including housekeeping, tending a laundromat, and running a copy room at the University of Arizona, where she later retired. After retirement she and Floyd made many trips between Tucson and Filer to visit their sons and grandchildren. After Floyd passed away she got an apartment in Filer to spend Idaho's warmer seasons in, while wintering in Tucson. Eventually she made Filer her permanent home, even though she despised the cold and snowy weather. There is nothing she loved more than spending time with her family and friends, and though she hadn't been well enough over the past few years to do much of it, she always enjoyed sewing for herself and for her family. Virginia was a great wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She was known as the rock of her family. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. Virginia is survived by her two sons, Gary Scott of Filer and Louis (DeeAnn) Scott of Jerome; six grandchildren, Tammy Scott of Boise; Randy and David Scott of Tucson, AZ; and Shane (Diana), Brian and Wendy Scott, of Filer; four great-grandchildren, Cody Wickes and Cheyenne Scott of Tucson, AZ; and Trevor and Brayden Scott of Filer; four sisters, Madonna Ripley and Louise Wagner of Ryegate, MT; Eva (Everett) Messing of Three Forks, MT; and Elva Busey of Tucson, AZ; and one brother, Kip (Cynthia) Ripley of Tucson, AZ. She was preceded in death by her parents, Martin and Gladys Ripley, her husband, Floyd and brothers, Bob and Bill Ripley.
