Senior Mother Magdalene Scott
Senior Mother Magdalene Scott was called from labor to reward on Sunday, February 18, 2024 at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. She was born in Lexington, Kentucky on February 24, 1937 to the late Senior Mother Marguerite Williams and Mr. Wade Baker Scott.
Senior Mother Scott relocated to the Hubbard/Youngstown, Ohio area as a young child, with her family and enjoyed attending and participating in her church services. Because of her quiet demeanor some may not have known that Senior Mother Scott had a very nice singing voice.
She graduated from Hubbard High School and would eventually work at Southside Hospital in Youngstown, Ohio. She married Honorary Senior Deacon Frank M. Betts and from this union came four children, three daughters and one son.
Senior Mother Scott eventually relocated to Coshocton, Ohio where she worked at Jacob’s Dwelling Nursing Home and she enjoyed working around and being with the residents.
She loved her family and being a member of the Supreme Council of the House of Jacob. She enjoyed indulging every now and then. Her favorite meals were fried fish, barbecued ribs, greens and she loved chocolate!
Senior Mother Scott leaves to cherish her memory, her three loving daughters, Sister Esther Mary Betts of Columbus, Ohio, Miss Evangeline “Bebe” Betts of Columbus, Ohio and Miss Priscilla Betts of Columbus, Ohio; five grandchildren, Shallonda, Erica, Jonathan “Budda” Ana and Anthony Betts; four great-grandchildren, Zion Betts, Zayden Betts, Keontae Jeffries and Zeke Betts; several nieces, nephews, cousins and lifelong family friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her son, Jonathan David Betts and her brother, John Baker Scott. The family would like to thank everyone for their condolences, acts of kindness, visits to the hospital, calls, text messages and prayers.
“God is Good. God is Good. God is Good to Me. God is Good. God is Good. God is Good to Me. When I was a Stranger, Didn’t have any friends, God is Good to Me. I Came to him and he took me in, God is Good to Me.”
