Anna Lucille Scott

Anna Lucille Mintle, one of seven children of Eliza Ann (Parker) and Oscar Lewis Mintle, was born on April 4, 1916 near Glenwood, Iowa. She grew up in the Glenwood area, where she attended country school and graduated from the Glenwood High School in 1933.

Lucille and Archie Earl Scott, son of Abner Marion and Edna Pearl (Stout) Scott, were married on January 19, 1938 at her parents' home near Glenwood. They lived and farmed near Malvern, Iowa and their marriage was blessed with three children, William Earl, Kathryn Suzanne, and Clifford Dean. Archie retired in 1973 and he and Lucille moved to live in Malvern.

Lucille was a member of the Malvern United Methodist Church, the United Methodist Women, LTN (Love Thy Neighbor), Southwest Iowa Heritage Club, and Red Hat Society. She loved visiting with her friends at the Malvern Senior Center, playing cards, especially pitch, and bridge with her bridge club. Lucille volunteered many hours at the Malvern Public Library. Among her many enjoyments were gardening, tending to her flowers, quilting, sewing and crocheting. She was an excellent hand on the farm. Lucille especially loved spending time with her family, who were her pride and joy, and was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother, and a good friend to all who knew her.

Lucille and Archie were married almost 45 years when Archie died on September 23, 1983. Lucille continued to live in her home until 2006, when she entered the Tabor Manor in Tabor, Iowa.
