In honor of Mrs. Judy Scott: Judy Scott, born on October 1, 1954, was a devoted wife and mother to my father, Gregory Scott Sr., brother Gregory Scott Jr., and myself, T’Ana Scott. Judy was also a loving grandmother to her three grandchildren. She was always there for her family and those in need.
Mrs. Scott was a Fraud Claim Analyst for the Department of Labor for 28 years. She also served as a Greater Beach Grove Baptist Church member in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Judy served on the Elderly Care Committee, Hospitality Committee, and Home Mission Board, as well as being one of the Youth Ministers. Judy was also a volunteer at St. Vincent De Paul, where she got my brother and me involved in volunteering on Saturday mornings. She also volunteered to do different events with the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
In November 1996, Judy was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. Despite going into remission once, she passed away on April 2, 2003. Judy Scott’s impact on her community was significant, and her legacy is one of kindness and generosity.
Witnessing my mother’s unwavering dedication to others has profoundly influenced me. Her mission has inspired me to establish Judy’s Heart, a nonprofit organization in her memory, created on September 21, 2021. Our mission is to continue bridging the homelessness gap by providing nonperishable food, clothing, personal hygiene items, portable showers, and other essential items to those in need. I am committed to upholding my mother’s legacy and that of my late father, Gregory Scott Sr., and my late brother, Gregory Scott Jr. I hope that this organization will continue to bring joy to those who remember my family and the positive impact they had on others.
