In Loving Memory: April 9, 1964 – May 18, 2026

A Fearless Warrior, Devoted Grandmother, and Faithful Servant

On May 18, 2026, our beloved mother passed away peacefully, entering into the eternal home prepared for her by her Savior. After a courageous, decades-long battle with cancer, she met the end of her earthly journey exactly how she lived it: with absolute fearlessness, unwavering faith, and a heart completely at peace.

A Foundation of Faith and Enduring Love

Born on April 9, 1964, she was raised in a prominent, hardworking, middle-class Christian home where dedication to the church and community service were instilled in her from the very beginning. It was during her high school years that she met the love of her life, Robert Jack Stott Jr. They became high school sweethearts and built a beautiful life together, remaining married until Robert’s sudden passing in 2019. She never remarried or dated anyone else; their love was the singular romance of her life, and she has now been joyfully reunited with him.

At just 19 years old, she became a mother, raising her children in a loving, nurturing home. Though she and Robert worked long, hard hours to provide, family was always their ultimate priority. Our home during Thanksgiving and Christmas was a testament to that—always overflowing with laughter, love, and a house packed full of distant relatives and extended family.

A Legacy of Generosity and the Great Outdoors

She was a woman who believed deeply in community and public service. Whether serving for years as a dedicated Girl Scout leader or fiercely supporting local fire departments and first responders in honor of her husband's work as a firefighter, she lived by the rule that you must always give back to those less fortunate.

Her absolute favorite place on earth was Disney World. She would save every single penny she possibly could, driven by a deep desire to give her children and grandchildren the chance to experience that magic.

But when Disney wasn't within reach, her resourcefulness and love for the outdoors took over. Every single weekend of the summer, she could be found with her little camper packed to the brim, parked right down the road at Warblers Campground.

It was there that her legendary generosity truly shined. Growing up, she always insisted that her children could bring a friend along. Because of this, she opened up the world of camping to countless kids who would have never otherwise had the opportunity to experience nature. It was a tradition of mentorship and love that she proudly carried on with her grandchildren and their friends, leaving a lasting mark on generations of young people who still reach out today to thank her.

Hard-Earned Wisdom and a Fearless Spirit

In her final years, she looked back on her journey with profound honesty and grace. True to her character, she shared her reflections openly, hoping her journey could serve as a guide for the next generation. While she deeply loved her children, she felt a profound regret for working so much during their youth, missing hours she wished she could have spent with them. Her final, urgent message to all younger families was simple and clear: Put the work aside and spend time with your kids. Money can always be made, but children are only little once.

Determined to pour out the love she wished she had more time to give, she made her grandchildren the absolute highlight of her life. As an active, fiercely devoted grandmother, there was nothing she wouldn't do to ensure they experienced the beauty of camping, the magic of Disney, and the warmth of her presence.

Her deep, personal relationship with Jesus Christ and her active involvement in her church community anchored her through life's hardest trials. It was this profound faith that sustained her through a brutal, decades-long fight with cancer. What began as breast cancer in her early 40s—leading to a mastectomy and a courageous period of remission—eventually returned and spread throughout her body. When the brain cancer began to take its heaviest toll, she was tired from the fight, but she faced eternity with zero fear. She wanted everyone to know that because of her absolute love and trust in Jesus Christ, she was ready for the place God prepared for her, and she prayed that her total peace would bring comfort to everyone who loved her.
