Florence Mildred Scott, age 84, passed away the afternoon of March 18, 2009 at her home, the home her father began building in 1920. Florence was born May 16,1924, the youngest daughter of Elsie and Augusta Gray. She married Howard D. Scott, her high school classmate, in 1947. Florence grew up in Cleghorn Canyon, attending Cleghorn School. She graduated from Rapid City High School in 1942 and then entered National School of Business to become a secretary. Following graduation she worked briefly at KOTA and then at Rapid City National Bank before heading off to Denver for a year to work at Singer Sewing Machine Company. When she returned to Rapid City, she took the civil service exam and began working for the Farmers' Home Administration. She continued to work for the FHA until 1950 when the first of 2 daughters, Janet, was born. Then, in 1953, their youngest daughter, Susan, was born. Florence was an at-home mom until the mid 60's when she went back to work part-time at DuEII Sporting Goods. Florence made ordinary living an adventure. Whether going up to the Silver City cabin with Howard and the girls, leading her Brownie troop, playing bridge, making hug-a-bears with the Telephone Pioneers, having coffee with friends, taking care of her home, or proudly following her grandchildren in their activities, she enjoyed it all. Her grandchildren were especially precious to her as she beamed with pride whenever with them or talking about them. She is survived by her two daughters, Janet Sohl and her husband Lloyd of Rapid City, Susan Yeoman and her husband Scott of Rapid City; four grandchildren, Jonathan Sohl and his wife Chanel of Clarksville, TN, Rachel Sohl of Sioux Falls, SD, Kimberly Yeoman of Rapid City, Stacey Yeoman of Chicago, IL; and one great-granddaughter, BrileySohl of Clarksville.
