MARY MARGARET SCOTT's Obituary
Mary Margaret Scott, 72, passed away peacefully at her home with her children by her side on Wednesday, September 7, 2022.
Mary was born on November 29, 1949 in Washington DC. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edgar and Julia Simpson, one brother, Edgar Simpson and her husband, Donald Lee Scott.
Mary leaves behind to honor her legacy and cherish her memory, two daughters Stacy Scott of Leesburg, VA, and Christen Scott (Dion Spriggs) of Princeton, NJ, and one son, Joseph Scott of Leesburg, VA. Mary was loved and adored by her 9 grandchildren, Ashley (Eric Hitch) of VA Beach, VA, Ceara Scott of Herndon, VA, Dionna Scott of Clayton, NC, Breanna (Jared Johnson) of Norfolk, VA, Brittani McCoy of Euless, TX, Asia McCoy of Harrisonburg, VA, Julianna Ray Mora Scott of Leesburg, VA, Isabella Scott of Round Hill, VA, and Rayshaun Spriggs of Princeton, NJ, 3 great grandchildren, Kymani Shackleford of VA Beach, VA, James Dion Hitch of VA Beach, VA, and Ava Rae Johnson of Norfolk, VA.
Mary was a wonderful big sister and friend to Kathy (Steve Dawson) of Olney,MD, Sheilah Simpson of Damascus, MD, Eileen (Anthony Anselmo) of Urbana, MD, Joseph (Donna Simpson) of Venice, Florida, and David Simpson of Urbana MD.
Mary was known for her kindness towards others, her warm spirit, beautiful smile and her silent strength. She was also very competitive when it came to sports. She played basketball, softball, track and ping pong and excelled in each. She graduated from Wheaton High School and went to Montgomery Community College. She landed what she called her “dream job” in 1985 -working for the CIA in Langley, for about 30 years. She went to work early and stayed late to avoid traffic. One thing for certain - you could count on her to show up every day and give you 100%.
She raised 3 beautiful children as a single parent. She enjoyed the presence and accomplishments of her children and grandchildren. Never one to boast - you knew without a shadow of doubt she loved them so much and they her.
