Mr. Gerald L. Scott

Gerald L. Scott was born in Blackfoot, Idaho on July 6, 1926 to Kenneth L. and Mary E. Scott. He passed away on March 21, 2022 in Alpharetta, Georgia at the age of 95. Gerald was the oldest of 5 brothers: Richard G. (Janene) Scott, Walter C. (Ina), K. Wayne (Ann), J. Mitchell (Sue). He married Betty Lue Endres on September 19, 1949, in Kansas City, Missouri. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls Temple. She is the love of his life. They were married for over 64 years when Betty passed away. He was preceded in death by his Eternal Companion Betty, his parents, his parents-in-law, two brothers (Richard G. and K. Wayne), and one grandson (James R. Scott). Gerald is survived by his two children and their spouses: Lawrence R. (Jane) Scott of Cottonwood Heights, Utah, Carol S., (Tom) McKinney of Alpharetta, Georgia. His posterity also includes 8 grandchildren: Julie, Jenny, Michelle, James (deceased), Rachel, Dan, Emily, and Laura. He is also survived by 24 great-grandchildren. Gerald spent his early years in Washington D.C. and Kansas City. Following his marriage to Betty they lived in Kansas City, Richmond, Virginia, Cincinnati, Ohio, Syracuse, New York, and Atlanta, Georgia. Gerald and Betty felt like they were finally settled when they moved to Atlanta in 1973. Gerald held many responsible positions during his work career. His skills as a Mechanical Engineer served him well in being able to solve, repair, and improvise solutions to most any problem he encountered. He had a deep and abiding love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And from the day he decided to become a true disciple he never looked back. He served in many callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. One of Dad’s greatest joys was to have Betty by his side while serving as Mission President of the Nevada Las Vegas Mission and as President of the Atlanta Georgia Temple. Gerald was a man who loved serving people. It was evident in how he tenderly cared his dear wife during the last years of her life as blindness prevented her from most activity. His legacy will be one of service, love, caring, and discipleship. We are humbled by the outpouring of love for our Dad, Grandpa, Gerald Scott.
