IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Obituary
Dorothy Mae Cowart Scott, 81, of Franklin, went home to be with Jesus on Saturday, December 30, 2023.
Born in Macon County, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Maebelle Williamson Cowart. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Deborah Sue Scott; a grandson, Mark McClure; a sister, Betty Passmore; and six brothers, Randolph, Wiley, R.L., Jesse, Junior, and Fred Cowart. Dorothy enjoyed collecting dolls, reading, yard sales, thrifting, and going to flea markets. Many times, while doing the things that she loved, she would make new friends and often she would pray with them and share the gospel. She was a member of Watauga Baptist Church and had been attending Franklin Church of God.
Dorothy is survived by her husband and best friend of sixty-five years, Zeb Lee Scott; daughter, Kathy Stamey (Mike) of Franklin, NC; three sons, Ricky Scott (Regina), Dennis Scott (Tammy) both of Franklin, NC, and Gary Scott (Jean) of Sylva, NC; and one brother, Earl Cowart of Franklin, NC.
