Dr. Anne McConnell Scott Daughtrey, retired eminent professor at ODU, philanthropist and community leader, died December 16th, 2007.
Anne was the daughter of J.B. and Minnie Virginia Hutton Scott was born in Radford, where she lived until graduating with honors from Jefferson H.S.
The widow of Greyson Daughtrey, she treasured their 37 yrs. of marriage. She is preceded in death by her parents and siblings: V. J. Scott, Christine S. Likens, Virginia S. Reynolds, Grant W. Scott, and Josephine S. Altizer. Her youngest sister D. Scotty Fonza survives Anne along with many nieces, nephews, great nieces/nephews who loved and admired her.
Excelling in studies throughout her education, Anne earned a letter in forensic writing press and her BS with honors from Radford Univ. in only 3 yrs. Since graduating and beginning her teaching career, Dr. Daughtrey has called Norfolk "home".
Her career began at S. Norfolk H.S. in 1941 followed by Maury H.S. in 1946 where she taught for 13 yrs. In 1948, Anne was selected by the Va. Dept. of Ed. to design and implement their first work experience program, which she taught and coordinated with the business community for 11 yrs. She also began her professional writing career during those yrs. and joined the O.D.U. faculty in 1959.
In the summers between 1954-1966, Anne earned her master's with honors from Univ. of South Dakota (USD) while her husband, also an educator, served as a guest lecturer in the USD Graduate School. She completed her grad course work at VPI, taking a full yr.'s sabbatical leave in 1965-66. The following yr. she competed her dissertation, an analysis of the economic literacy of high school seniors, and was awarded her doctorate with honors from USD. Dr. Daughtrey was a "pioneer" for women earning her Ph.D in Business Administration - a male dominated field at that time.
As a teacher, author, lecturer, and seminar conductor, Daughtrey was widely recognized as a leader in business and economics ed. She authored/co-authored over 75 publications, articles, chapters, and position papers in professional journals, as well as several textbooks. Her first book, published in 1965, was cited by a national economics ed. journal as the standard in its field. In 1985, Anne received the publisher's Gold Book Award when her textbook passed its first million copies in sales. Two of her co-authored texts are published in international editions and sold in countries across 4 continents.
Dr. Daughtrey was a member of the faculty of the ODU College of Bus. and Public Admin. for 29 years. At her retirement in 1988, she was elected to the ODU Faculty Emeriti, and served on the ODU Board of Directors. She is cited in Who's Who (WW) of American Women, WW in the South and SW, WW in American Ed., World WW of Women-Cambridge, Eng. She was also cited in 200 Women of Achievement, The Writer's Dictionary, Dictionary of International Biography, Contemporary Authors, and Outstanding Educators of America. The Meditation Garden created on the grounds of Maury H.S., the Citation, and the Etching of Maury presented to her by the Class of 1948 at its 50th Reunion remained among her most cherished awards.
Her commitment to excellence was visible in her personal, social, and civic activities. She served as a Bd. of Dir. for both The Epworth Church Fdn., The College of Wm. and Mary Fdn., a member of the World Affair Council of Greater Hampton Rds., Norfolk Sister City Assn., Norfolk-VA Beach Executives Club, Town-N-Gown, Starbase Atlantis of Hampton Rds., and the Va.

Opera Guild, Chrysler Museum of Arts Masterpiece and the Mowbray Arch Societies (and other Divisions).
Again breaking barriers, Anne was the 1st woman to serve as Governor on the N.Y.C.C. Bd. of Gov. She was also a member of The Harbor Club, and served as Pres. of the Lakewood Garden Club, and Bd. Member of the Friends of the ODU Library Assn.
A funeral service will be conducted at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 21, 2007 in the chapel of Cox Funeral Home, 631 Westover Ave., Norfolk by the Rev. Myron I. Simmons. Burial will follow in St. Mary's Cemetery.
