Carolyn J. Scott, 78, of Decatur passed away peacefully on June 8, 2021 in Urbana.
Carolyn was born February 28, 1943 in Chicago, the daughter of Hugo and Kathryn (Seghi) Manfredi. She married Walter L. "Walt" Scott on June 4, 1966. Carolyn was passionate about helping others, especially kids, and she worked for 20 years as a special education aide in Decatur Public Schools until her retirement. She was extremely proud of her Italian heritage and was an avid sports enthusiast, enjoying tennis, especially Rafael Nadal. She found joy in reading and traveling with Walt – a highlight being time spent on Martha's Vineyard. But, Carolyn was most passionate about her family – taking care of her "three boys", Walt and her sons. She was a person of great faith, attending Holy Family Parish in Decatur.
She is survived by her husband of 55 years, Walt; sons: Walter and wife, Tara Snyder of Tampa, FL and Jeff and wife Pam of Mahomet; grandchildren: Gage, Montana, Evan and Ella; and sister, Barb and husband Larry Hermreck.
