SCOTT, Gerald Owen
October 15, 1925 – Conquest, Saskatchewan
October 10, 2015 – Calgary, Alberta
Gerald "Gerry" Scott of Lethbridge passed away peacefully at Carewest Garrison Green in Calgary on October 10, 2015 at the age of 89. Gerry was born in Conquest, Saskatchewan on October 15, 1925 to Iva Marie (nee Clark) and William Wesley "Wes" Scott. He was the eldest of four children.
Gerry was raised in the Iron Springs Area and lived most of his life in Lethbridge. During WW2 as a young teen he helped out on the family farm and this is where he began to develop his many skills in repair, maintenance and woodworking. He married Pauline Bahler in June 1951. After spending a few years in Innisfail, they settled back in Lethbridge in 1954 to raise their three children.
In 1974 he had an opportunity to work for the City of Lethbridge where he was responsible for maintaining and operating the equipment at Henderson Lake Pool and the Civic Ice Centre. Gerry had a strong work ethic and always took pride in his work. He loved nothing better than making things look like new. When he retired in 1991 he moved to Kimberley, B.C. where he met his second wife Helen Warnock. They married in 1994 and eventually moved back to the Lethbridge area.
Gerry's passions were woodworking, hiking, camping, repairing cars and talking politics. For many years he was an active participant in the NDP for the riding of Lethbridge. In his retirement years he enjoyed volunteering in the community and at church. He had many fond memories of teaching woodwork to children. He adored his kids and will be remembered as the loving father that he was.
Gerry was predeceased by his parents Iva and Wes Scott; his brother Clark (Jean) Scott; his sisters Joy (Nick) Taschuk and Elaine (Alan) Heavenor; his son Larry Scott (Char); and the mother of his children Pauline Scott (nee Bahler).
