Edith Isabelle (Ellis) Scott, of Sackville, NB, and formerly of Baie Verte, passed away at the Drew Nursing Home on Thursday, May 12, 2022 at the age of 91. Born Jan 17, 1931 in Bathurst, she was the youngest child of the late Alvin and Elizabeth (Scott) Ellis.
Prior to marriage Edith had worked at Marshlands Inn, Sackville, then was a stay-at-home mom until her girls were grown. Later Edith became a valued 14 year member of the Jones Funeral Home staff performing her duties with perfection. She was a long time member of St. James United Church, Baie Verte, a choir member, sunday school teacher, faithful member of WMS and UCW, as well as a former member and president of Baie Verte Seniors Club.
Her skills in the kitchen were enviable and her bread and biscuits were in great demand. She enjoyed card parties, quilting, knitting and spending time with her family.
