Dorothy was my mother's (Nannie Penn Barnes) . first cousin. I am Danita. l remember love seeing her in the summer at her father's home in VA.
My heart saddens to know that Mrs. Scott is no longer with all of her children, friends, and family. She was a wonderful person to work for as well as to work along with. I truly enjoyed my teaching years under her at Miller Elementary. She was straight forward in her approach, but always added that bright beautiful smile at the end of every conversation. You will truly be missed, but I WILL see you again! 🙏❤️
My heart is saddened today. I was asking about Mrs. Scott and found out about her passing. She was so near and dear to my heart. She was a rock and fiercely protective of her staff at Miller Elementary. I talk about her all the time to my husband. I really wanted to tell her how much she truly meant to me and all the leadership qualities and her words of advice that I still use today. She was bluntly truthful with exactly what she thought and I appreciated that more than she will ever know. One day, in heaven, I hope to tell her exactly the impact she had on me (and continues to have on my life) every day. She gave me, a brand new teacher at the time, a chance to learn and grow in a loving environment and I will never forget her. I am so sorry for your loss. What a loss it is!

I met Mrs. Scott as my primary school principal at Miller Elementary. I've always respected and looked up to her. I can still remember the distinct sound of her heels clicking in the hallway announcing her arrival to your classroom. Students would sit up a little straighter and make sure they were paying attention when they heard those heels! Mrs. Scott was also gracious. My birthday was also October 30th, and I recall in second grade the entire school gathering on the playground to sing happy birthday to her. Because someone mentioned it was also my birthday, Mrs. Scott invited me to stand with her as the school sang to us - that was 30 years ago and I don't think I'll ever forget that generosity. As I graduated Miller, I continued to keep in touch with Mrs. Scott. She attended my college send-off party before I left for Vanderbilt, as well as my wedding and my wife's baby shower for our first daughter. Mrs. Scott became family and someone who I cherished and admired growing up in Huntington, WV. I loved her and will miss her. May God bless her family and may others continue to follow the legacy she left behind.
Grandma I miss you and thank you for being that solid rock boss and all the wisdom through the years and thanks for your given heart and passion for blessing others with your kindness!! You are one in a million and thank you for always being a blessing to me and our family!! I will miss the best breakfast ever - grandmas cafe (love)
It was a pleasure providing care to you and your family! Rest Easy Captain! With all of my love - Courtney (SMMC nurse)
To be absent from the body is to be with the Lord. Family, what a Life Mrs Dorothy Scott lived and she served and made an impression on countless number of people. I always remember talking to her when she visited her daughter Robin(Audrey) and it was so rewarding as she shared in our conversation. She has left her print of love on the lives of many. May the Life she lived speak for her. The quality of one's life is how we live it between the human beginning to the end. May she enjoy her eternal rest with the Lord. With Love , Bro Samuel Crosby, Jr.
I will always be an adopted daughter to Aunt Dot and Uncle Joe. The Summers spent there with them and my cousins always made me smile and being there was what Summer was all about. I always thought Aunt Dot was so beautiful. She indeed was the Matriarch of her Family and will be missed greatly. Love you Rita, Donna and Klevin.
