Theola "Jane" Scott

Her life began September 24, 1943 in Cassopolis, Michigan, the youngest of four children born to   John Cloyd and Theolia Simpson, Sr.

Jane always had a kind word and will be remembered as a special woman.  She taught her children and grandchildren to crochet so they could always have mittens and scarves.  Jane received the Holy Ghost in 1963 at Christ Temple Church in Cassopolis.  She was a dedicated church member who enjoyed writing and reading inspirational messages that were timed to the second.  Jane was proud of her ten children and all their accomplishments.
