Deborah Carolyn Scott

Deborah Carolyn Scott, of Fultondale, left this earthly plain for her celestial home on February 20, 2013. She will be lovingly remembered as a wonderful, cheerful, and frequent shopper throughout Fultondale and Gardendale, sharing her love of Furbies, Beanie Babies, and Barbies with countless sales associates at Wal-Mart and K-Mart. Deborah was preceded in death by her father, Howard Emery Scott, Sr., and mother, Mary Jewel Fields Scott. She is survived by one brother, Howard Emery Scott, Jr. (Glenda), of Gardendale, niece Bambi Burns (Jeramie), and great-niece Bragan Burns, of Mount Olive. She is also survived by her Aunt Louise King (Cecil), Uncle Bobby Scott (Ina), Uncle Billy Scott (Vivian), cousin Barbara Marcum Smith, as well as numerous other relatives and friends. Deborah will be especially missed by her guardians, James and Tas Smith, and their three children: Emily Ann, Sam and Abby, as well as her special and dear God-sent caregiver, Violet Baker, who enabled Deborah’s last year of life to be filled with excitement, adventure and travel. Deborah was a member of Walkers Chapel Baptist Church, where she attended as often as she was able. She will be missed by that beautiful congregation, which showed Deborah the immeasurable love of Christ by their words and deeds throughout many years. A time of visitation and memory will be held at Walkers Chapel Baptist Church on Monday, February 25, 2013, from 10:00 until 11:00 a.m. A private graveside service will be held at Elmwood Cemetery thereafter.
