Annie C. Scott

Annie Claiborne Scott, age 77, of Richmond, VA departed this life June 5, 2021.

On Saturday, June 5th, 2021, the Angel of Peace was dispatched to the home of Annie C. Scott, and quietly uttered the Word of the Lord, “It is finished.”  God gently closed her loving eyes and whispered, “Peace Be Thine” as she took flight to the land of eternal rest and everlasting joy.

Mrs. Annie C. Scott was born June 21, 1943 to the late Lugertha Anderson and the late Robert Claiborne in Richmond, VA.  She was also predeceased by her grandmother Mary Cooper, her stepfather Silas Anderson, Sr. and her son Benjamin Brown, Jr., affectionately known as “BB.” 

Annie was educated in the Richmond Public School System and graduated from Maggie L. Walker, Class of 1961, home of the Mighty Dragons.  After high school, she graduated from the Piedmont School of Nursing in Burkeville, VA.  She continued her education endeavors at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College and Virginia State University in Nursing.  Annie became an RN shortly after completing her studies.

Annie started her Nursing career at MCV hospitals, and then at Stuart Circle Hospital where she worked in the ICU Department.  In 1979, Annie began her RN career with Philip Morris USA in the Human Resources Department.  She retired with more than 20 years of service from Philip Morris USA as an Occupational Health RN.  Annie thoroughly enjoyed retirement and was a very active member of Hood Temple African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church where she worshipped since childhood.  She served Hood Temple in many capacities.  Annie served as Director of Christian Education, Coordinator of Health Affairs, a member of the Board of Trustees, and a member of the Missionary Ministry.

Annie was married to William H. Scott, Jr. on May 28th, 1982.  She was a devoted mom to her son, Michael Donnell Brown and her bonus daughter, Celeste Antoinette Scott.   Annie was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend but most importantly, a child of God striving daily to do God’s will.  Her favorite scripture was “I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.” Philippians 4:13.
