Ellen Scott's Obituary
Mrs. Ellen S. Scott, 71, of Rochester passed away on
September 14
, 2019 near Stevensville, Michigan due to injuries she sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
On
March 23
, 1948, Ellen Sue Harts was born in Miami County. She was the treasured daughter of Richard Zody and Marilyn Jenkins Harts. Growing up she shared her childhood with a brother Larry. Ellen graduated from Rochester High School in 1966.
Many lab patients at Woodlawn Hospital will remember the radiant smile of Ellen as she smoothly was able to draw blood with ease from her patients. This self taught phlebotomist trained many understudies on the proper technique. After more than 20 years of dedicated service she retired in 2013. Following her retirement Ellen enjoyed chatting with friends and helping customers at her daughter Stacy's store "Craft Crossing."
In Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Ellen and Doug were married on June 2 , 1997. They enjoyed 22 years of life's adventures. Ellen and Doug were both members of the Indiana Shelby American Automobile Club. Ellen was currently serving as a member of the board of directors. They were proud to cruise to car shows in their treasured 2008 cherry red Mustang Shelby GT 500 convertible accented with white racing stripes. Then competing with friends. It was Ellen who applied the finishing touches detailing it to perfection. Summer weekends were spent boating on the sparkling waters of Lake Michigan departing from the docks at St. Joe, MI. They totally enjoyed the freedom and relaxation on the waters in their cabin cruiser.
Doug and Ellen also looked forward to a couple of annual excursions to Bradenton, Florida where they embraced the surf, sand and sunshine. Garage sales, auctions and junking brought them great joy while discovering treasures.
