Obituary of Neville Stuart Scott

March 26, 1935 – Leeds, Yorkshire, England

March 27, 2023 - Calgary, Alberta

 

Neville Scott of Calgary AB, passed away on Monday, March 27, 2023. at the age of 88 years.

 

Neville was born in Leeds, Yorkshire, England on March 26, 1935 to Ethel and Tommy Scott, and was the middle child of three boys.

 

At eighteen years old he became a member of the Royal Air Force as a Morse Code operator and was stationed in Cyprus.

 

In 1961 he immigrated to Canada with his wife, Roma, on the Empress of Canada. Their ship landed in Montreal, QC, and from there they settled in Ontario where they lived for many years. Then through Nev’s work they lived in Montreal, QC, Edmonton, AB, and then Calgary, AB, where he continued to live until his death.

 

He worked for Kraft Foods Ltd. for 30 plus years in both England, and Canada. He had a tremendous “gift of the gab” which allowed him to excel as a salesman, and with his extremely strong work ethic, he managed to work his way up into many management positions.

 

He enjoyed golfing, and spending time with his family. He was a staunch believer in Sunday dinners being spent with family, where everyone had fun and stayed connected.

 

Neville will be most remembered for his sense of humour, kindness, and his love for his grandchildren.

 

Neville is lovingly remembered by his daughter and son-in-law, Catherine (Reto), two grandchildren, Mike (Jewelia), and Emma (Sean); brother and sister-in-law, Len (Sue); as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

 

Neville was predeceased by his wife Roma in 2018, his brother Don, and his sister-in-law Jacquie.
