Mary Scott was born in Baltimore Maryland on May 26th, 1942. Her family moved to a small town in Alabama where she was raised. She attended Blackburn College in Illinois where she received a degree in Sociology. After college, she returned to Alabama and got a job as a social worker.
Mary was for desegregation, so on March 7th, 1965 she ran for the Civil Rights Demonstration, from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and many others. Many people in the south were very conservative and because of that, Mary moved to California. After living in California, Mary moved to Snohomish where she lived until her death.
The thread of her life was a sense of compassion for social justice. She lived simply and donated her time, money and things to organizations she believed in. Her passion started with desegregation, “Ban the Bomb”, “Anti War”, rights for refuges, gay rights, “Save the Earth”, and all causes to benefit the world. Mary was an avid reader, gardener and pet owner. Her ashes will be scattered in Snohomish, the town she loved.
