Anne was the daughter of J.B. and Minnie Virginia Hutton Scott and was born in Radford, where she lived until graduating with honors from Jefferson High School. The widow of Greyson Daughtrey, she treasured their 37 years of marriage. She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings, V. J. Scott, Christine S. Likens, Virginia S. Reynolds, Grant W. Scott and Josephine S. Altizer. Her youngest sister, D. Scotty Fonza survives Anne, along with many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, who loved and admired her. Excelling in studies throughout her education, Anne earned a letter in forensic writing press and her BS with honors from Radford University in only three years. Since graduating and beginning her teaching career, Dr. Daughtrey has called Norfolk "home." Her career began at South Norfolk High School in 1941, followed by Maury High School in 1946, where she taught for 13 years. In 1948, Anne was selected by the Virginia Dept. of Education to design and implement their first work experience program, which she taught and coordinated with the business community for 11 years. She also began her professional writing career during those years and joined the ODU faculty in 1959. In the summers between 1954-1966, Anne earned her master's with honors from University of South Dakota (USD) while her husband, also an educator, served as a guest lecturer in the USD graduate school. She completed her grad course work at VPI, taking a full year sabbatical leave in 1965-66. The following year she completed her dissertation, an analysis of the economic literacy of high school seniors, and was awarded her doctorate with honors from USD. Dr. Daughtrey was a "pioneer" for women, earning her Ph.D. in business administration - a male- dominated field at that time. As a teacher, author, lecturer and seminar conductor, Dr. Daughtrey was widely recognized as a leader in business and economics education. She authored/co- authored more than 75 publications, articles, chapters and position papers in professional journals, as well as several textbooks. Her first book, published in 1965, was cited by a national economics education journal as the standard in its field. In 1985, Anne received the publisher's Gold Book Award when her textbook passed its first million copies in sales. Two of her co-authored texts are published in international editions and sold in countries across four continents. Dr. Daughtrey was a member of the faculty of the ODU College of Business and Public Administration for 29 years. At her retirement in 1988, she was elected to the ODU Faculty Emeriti, and served on the ODU Board of Directors. She is cited in Who's Who (WW) of American Women, WW in the South and Southwest, WW in American Education, World WW of Women-Cambridge, England. She was also cited in 200 Women of Achievement, The Writer's Dictionary, Dictionary of International Biography, Contemporary Authors and Outstanding Educators of America. The Meditation Garden created on the grounds of Maury High School, the Citation and the Etching of Maury presented to her by the Class of 1948 at its 50th reunion remained among her most cherished awards. Her commitment to excellence was visible in her personal, social and civic activities. She served as a board of director for both The Epworth Church Foundation, The College of William and Mary Foundation, a member of the World Affairs Council of Greater Hampton Roads, Norfolk Sister City Assn., Norfolk- Virginia Beach Executives Club, Town-N-Gown, Starbase Atlantis of Hampton Roads and the Virginia Council on Economics Education. Supporting the Arts for more than 50 years, Anne served on the Virginia Symphony Board of Directors and executive committee and the Virginia Symphony League (past president), Virginia Opera Guild, Chrysler Museum of Arts Masterpiece and the Mowbray Arch Societies (and other Divisions). Again breaking barriers, Anne was the first woman to serve as governor on the N.Y.C.C. Board of Governors. She was also a member of The Harbor Club and served as president of the Lakewood Garden Club and board member of the Friends of the ODU Library Association. A funeral will be conducted at 11 a.m. Friday in the chapel of Cox Funeral Home, 631 Westover Ave., Norfolk, by the Rev. Myron I. Simmons. Burial will follow in St. Mary's Cemetery.
