Mary Frances Scott was born April 16, 1928, in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, to Olin and Dozie (Abernathy) Roberts. She passed away peacefully Thursday, February 12, 2026, at her home outside Maysville, Oklahoma, at the age of 97 years. Mary was first and foremost a homemaker. There was always something to eat at Mary’s house or around her campfire. Every year she raised a large garden, and she enjoyed canning and sharing what she grew. She loved chickens – she was forgiving of “foxy” roosters with attitudes. Children at Maysville Public Schools also enjoyed her meals while she was employed in the school cafeteria. For a time, she was a caregiver at Griffin Memorial Hospital in Norman. Mary’s family cherished her deeply. Though she has departed from this world, her spirit lives on in the hearts of her family and those lucky enough to know her. Her love for her family and passion for life is an inspiration to all who follow in her footsteps. She will be greatly missed but fondly remembered for her kindness, strength and dedication to her loved ones.
