Delmer William Scott

Delmer William Scott, 93, went home to be with his Lord on Monday, August 29, 2016. He was born to Matthew W. Scott and Rhoda Belle Schooley, on July 5, 1923. He lived his entire life in Lake/Garfield Township. Delmer graduated from Farwell High School, when he then took over the management of the family farm. On February 10, 1945, he married his wife of 71 years, Donna Mae Wiggins. Delmer farmed his entire life employing many of the local youth. Delmer was a member of the Lake School Board for many years. He also served as a volunteer fireman in Garfield Township for twenty-eight years. He enjoyed going to tractor and steam engine shows; as well as loving the outdoors, both working in it and traveling through it. He enjoyed trips throughout America—visiting nearly all fifty states. A friend introduced him to fishing in Canada, and that became an annual event for many years portaging and canoeing to different lakes. In later years, his greatest enjoyment was spending time with family—his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He is survived by his wife, Donna; his children: daughter, Sharon (Craig) McClain of Midland and son, Stewart (Katharine “Kitty”) Scott of Macomb. Six grandchildren: Amy Kellogg, of Sanford, Pamela McClain of Cincinnati, David McClain of Cincinnati, Rachel Scott, Sarah (Travis) Crooks all of Macomb and Joshua Scott of New York City. Six great-grandchildren: Emily Kellogg, Ryan Kellogg, Tirzah Topacio , Torrin Topacio, Caden Crooks and Abigail Crooks. Also surviving are sisters: Polly Holovach of Flint, Faith Swanson of Florida, Louisa (Don) Wilkinson of Lake, and brother, Matthew Scott of Lake. In-laws: Virginia Holder, Bernice Cashin, Bess Wiggins’ and numerous nieces and nephews.
