Life Reflections

" I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now, there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will reward to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have longed for his appearing."   2 Timothy 4:7-8

Doreen T. Scott, born August 12, 1957, in Kingstree, South Carolina, the cherished daughter of the late Annie Bell Tisdale and Joe Fulton, passed away on Thursday, August 22, 2024.

A beacon of strength and grace, Doreen's legacy was marked by a life dedicated to faith, family, and service. She and her beloved husband, James "Ollie" Scott, embarked on a profound journey together starting June 6, 1975. Their union was blessed with a son, Kelvin, who, alongside his family, will forever honor Doreen's impactful legacy.

A distinguished graduate of St. Mark High School and Williamsburg Technical College, Doreen Scott's career was a profound testament to her relentless dedication and unparalleled expertise. Over an awesome 40-year career, she exemplified the art of reinvention, starting with a remarkable 23-year tenure at Provoust USA. Her relentless pursuit of excellence led her to return to school and graduate from Williamsburg Technical College, marking a pivotal shift as she embarked on a new chapter at Williamsburg Memorial Hospital. There, she continued to make a significant impact before concluding her career with distinction at Henryhand Funeral Home. Doreen's journey was defined by her ability to continually evolve, her unwavering professionalism, and her deep compassion, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Doreen's spiritual journey was equally significant. Having embraced Christ at an early age, she was a cornerstone of Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church. Her leadership and devotion were evident in her roles as a member of the Pastor Aide Ministry, Secretary of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church Union, President of the Willing Workers, and Hospitality Ministries. Her contributions to the Church reflected her unwavering faith and her passion for service.

Doreen leaves behind a legacy of love and dedication. She is survived by her devoted husband of 49 years, James "Ollie" Scott; her son, Kelvin (Rolanda) Scott of Fuquay Varina, NC; and her adopted daughter, Kim (Pedro) Carraway of Kingstree, SC. Her cherished grandchildren, Devon Miree-Walker of Bunnlevel, NC, and Arianna "Babygirl" Scott of Fuquay Varina, NC, as well as two great-grandchildren, Karter Jones and Devaina Miree-Walker. She is also remembered by her siblings, four sisters, Fannie (Rev. Floyd) Pressley, Sheila Tisdale, Mary Lee (Wayne), and Gloria Dukes all of Kingstree, SC; two brothers Jerry (Estell) Tisdale, and Willie (Wanda) Tisdale all of Kingstree, SC; one sister-in-law, Brenda Scott of Brooklyn, NY; four brothers-in-law, Samuel (Rosemaria) Scott of Roselle, NJ, James D. Scott of Bronx, NY, Antwan Scott of Brooklyn, NY and Antoine Hays of Kingstree, SC; three aunts, Margaret Shaw of Kingstree, SC, Loretta Smalls of Miami, FL, and Hattie Mae Goods of Moss Point, MS.

Heartfelt thanks and boundless gratitude are extended to the remarkable Church, family members and dear friends who, alongside her sisters, offered unwavering care and love for Doreen.

To Annie Tisdale, Toya and Edna Tisdale, Shannon Tisdale, Lou Ellen Brown, Geraldine Jones, and Cassandra McKnight—your steadfast support and genuine compassion have provided immense comfort and strength.
