She was born in Clairton, PA on August 5, 1933 to the late Henry and Bertha Moore Hough. She is preceded in death by former husband, Alexander T. Scott, and all her siblings. She is survived by her partner of 14 years, Charles Huffman of Elizabeth, PA; her three children; Perry Spires (Debbie Snyder), Louise Bagwell-Robinson (Charles Bagwell, MD) both from Richmond, VA, and her son Thomas Henry Scott (Elaine Hubbard) from Columbus, GA, and her son-in-law, James Robinson (Sharon) of Hurricane, WV.
