Violet Sue Scott, age 83, of Lawrenceburg, TN, passed away Wednesday, October 28th, 2026 at her home in Lawrenceburg. Sue was born on August 30th, 1943 to the late Raymond Richard Holtzman and Martha Marie Graham Holtzman in Detroit, Michigan. She moved to Lawrenceburg with the love of her life, Charles Womack Scott, and their 2 children, Tammy and Randy in the fall of 1968, where her life of service to others began. She was an exceptional Seamstress. Her sewing machine was always ready to make something, hem this, or repair that. She worked at Kay Windsor Clothing Manufacturer, where she served as Union Steward. When Kay Windsor closed it’s doors she began the journey that she took the greatest pride in… caring for her grandsons Dusty, Jon, and Jake. This journey continued when they went to school. She then worked at Summertown Elementary in order to continue mentoring and shaping her grandsons into the young men they are today. She also worked as a courier for Smith Kline Laboratories. Her service to others continued with her work with the American Red Cross, to her immediate as well as extended family and friends. She was a member of Summertown Baptist Church and was very active with her church family. She was also known for delicious cooking and her famous “mistakes” … those were the best treats. She was always involved with meal preparation for families in time of need and countless vacation bible school snacks at Macedonia Baptist Church.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Womack Scott, and her sister, Linda Kaiser.
She is survived by her children, Tammy Ivie (Chris) and Randy Scott (Kim); grandsons, Dusty Scott (Angela), Jon Ivie (Katelyn), and Jake Scott (Autumn); nine great grandchildren: Kruz, Kash, Knox, Sophie, and Novie Scott, Janie-Kate, Eleanor, Violet, and Savannah Ivie; brother, Raymond Holtzman (Judy); sister, Kathy Rhea, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
