Evelyn Dianne Scott, 71, a beloved Longview resident and longtime community 
volunteer, died May 4, 2006, at the Hospice Care Center. 

She was born June 30, 1934, in Vancouver, WA, to Emil and Violet Neiger, grew 
up in Fargher Lake, WA and was a 1952 graduate of Battle Ground High School. 
She met Roy D. Scott in January 1953 and they were married Oct. 16, 1953. They 
went on to have three children: Cheryl, Steven, and Carol Ann to whom Evelyn 
devoted her life along with her husband Roy. Evelyn always made sure that not 
only was the Scott family door open to their friends, but also her heart. 
Evelyn went to work in the engineer's office of the phone company soon after 
she and Roy wed, and later worked in the accounting office of Schneider's 
hardware for many years. Ev and Roy purchased Scharf Electric in 1973 and 
immediately merged with Cascade Electric where Evelyn went to work in their 
front office. In 1993, after 20 years, they sold their share of the company, 
retiring from business to pursue other interests. They then traveled regularly, 
enjoyed time with family and friends, golfed frequently, tended to their yard 
and flowers, and were active members of the country club. Evelyn volunteered 
countless hours in her lifetime to many charities: She was a Boy & Girl Scout 
leader for her children, an active Beta Rho Sorority member for 50 years 
serving several terms as president; a Toutle River Lake Guild member and past 
president including running the thrift shop and organizing various fundraising 
activities. She was a lifelong Bethany Lutheran Church member, treasurer, 
secretary, and volunteer. After being diagnosed with lung cancer last year, 
Evelyn felt the calling to volunteer at hospice in her final months and this 
was consistent with her actions of always putting others before herself. 
Throughout her lifetime, Evelyn was known for these and countless other 
selfless acts of kindness. Evelyn was preceded in death by her beloved husband 
Roy in 1999. She is survived by her children; a son, Steve Scott of Burien, WA; 
two daughters, Cheryl Roodman of Mercer Island, WA, and Carol Grojean of Mercer 
Island, WA; a sister-in-law, Evelyn "Cookie" Tobias of Longview; nine 
grandchildren; a nephew, and three nieces. A memorial service will be held at 2 
p.m. Saturday, May 6, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Longview where friends and 
family will have the opportunity to share a memory or favorite story about her. 
Everyone is welcome to join the family immediately following the service in the 
reception hall. Memorial contributions may be made to Community Home Health 
Hospice, P.O. Box 2067, Longview, WA 98632. Arrangements are by Steele Chapel 
at Longview Memorial Park. Private interment will take place at Longview 
Memorial Park at a later date.
