  Anna Bicksler Scott 
   
  Anna Bicksler Scott BLACK MOUNTAIN Anna Bicksler Scott ('Ann' to all who knew 
  her) was born near Lebanon, on October 16, 1917, and died on August 4, 2010, 
  after a brief illness. Ann was trained and received her R.N. degree in the 
  Presbyterian Hospital's School of Nursing in Philadelphia, where she was a 
  nursing supervisor and where she met her husband, Dr. Kenneth M. Scott, while 
  he was an intern there. The two were married on July 11, 1942, but were able to 
  live together for only six weeks before her husband was sent overseas as a 
  medical officer in the U.S. Army, not to be reunited for the next two and one-
  half years. In 1952, along with their two young sons, the couple were sent to 
  Korea as medical missionaries, where Ann was the director of the Korea Church 
  World Service's Crippled Children's Center in Seoul, for which service she was 
  decorated by the Korean Government as one of the three 'Mothers of the Year' in 
  1963 - the only nonKorean to be so recognized. Their daughter Betsy was born in 
  Korea. In 1963, Ann and her husband were called to serve in India, where Dr. 
  Scott became the Director of the Christian Medical College and Hospital in 
  Ludhiana, Punjab, for the next 11 years. In 1974, the family returned to the 
  U.S. where Ann became the first nurse in charge of the first free medical 
  clinic founded at the First Baptist Church in Asheville, while her husband 
  served on the medical staff of the Western Carolina Chest Hospital in Black 
  Mountain. Ann also served as a volunteer at the American Red Cross Blood Center 
  in Asheville. Ann was a member of the Black Mountain Presbyterian Church and 
  was active in P.E.O. She is survived by her husband, Dr. Kenneth Scott; her 
  sister, Mrs. Loretta Brown of Lebanon; her two sons, Kenneth Scott, Jr. of 
  Asheville, N.C., and Charles Scott of McDonough, Ga.; and her daughter, Mrs. 
  Betsy Murphy, of Black Mountain, N.C. and by their respective families which 
  include six grandsons, one granddaughter and one great-granddaughter; and also 
  countless relatives and friends who loved her dearly. A service of Witness to 
  the Resurrection is planned for 4 p.m. Sunday, August 15, 2010, in the Black 
  Mountain Presbyterian Church. Arrangements are in the Care of Harwood Home for 
  Funerals, 208 W. State St., Black Mountain, NC 828-6692977.
