On Monday, June 25th, surrounded by her three children, our loving mother, Shirley B. Rightmeier Scott passed through the veil where many waited to greet her on the other side.
She was born March 7, 1928 in Mankato, Kansas to Leonard and Emily Ferguson-Rightmeier. She was the oldest of four children.
Being a native of Kansas, she grew up in Belleville, where she enjoyed music and playing the organ. She participated in many concerts and played for the glee club choir and performed duets with her sister. When she exhausted all the piano and organ teachers in Belleville, she took summer courses for the organ at Kansas State College. She loved to play the organ on chimes at Christmas because they could be heard all throughout the town square.
Yet she called herself a tomboy. She was a star forward on the basketball team in high school and a cheerleader. She also was a Red Cross swimming instructor at the Belleville city swimming pool during the summer for several years.
She met her lifelong love in high school and on August 31, 1947, a year after graduating, she married Clyde A. Scott in the Belleville Presbyterian Church. They moved from Belleville to Hays to Pratt, Kansas to Moscow to Lewiston to Parma, Idaho and then on to Boise where she has lived ever since.
She played the organ for the Presbyterian Church in almost every city she lived! She so enjoyed the big pipe organs that she could pull out all the stops and fill the sanctuary with music! She served many years as organist for both the Southminster Presbyterian Church on Overland, and Coventry Presbyterian Church on Five Mile while working and raising her three children.
Her three children survive her: David, Dan (Marti) Scott, and Sherry Scheets, all of Boise; nine grandchildren: Jared (Lisa), Stephen, and Patrick (Mary Catherine) Scott; Jeremy LaFleur, Amber LaFleur, Andrew Scheets, and Chelsea (Casey) Sparling, all of Boise, Richard (Rebecca) Scott, of Ashburn, VA, and Nichole (Aaron) Adams, of Moscow; a sister, Marylou (Bob) Feasel, of Ontario, OR; a niece and three nephews; and 11 great-grandchildren: Kiana, Kaden, Grant, Caleb, Carter, Zack, Jayden-Lynn, Bennett, Henry, Cooper and Savannah.
She was preceded in death by both her parents; her brother, Larry; her sister, Mona Lynne; a grandson, Matthew Scott; and a great-grandson, Kaleb LaFleur.
We would like to thank all those who helped care for Mom at Boise Health & Rehab over these past many years. Your kind and loving service is so deeply appreciated.
