SCOTT: Norma Beth Scott (nee Robinson) was born on October 3, 1937 at Weyburn, Saskatchewan, the eldest of Stan and Dorothy Robinson’s four children. She grew up on the family farm and attended school at Ingleford and Colgate, graduating from Colgate in 1956. She attended Aldersgate Bible College for one year before beginning nurse’s training at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. She graduated with her RN diploma of nursing in 1960 and married David Scott that fall on October 8, 1960. Their first home was in Weyburn, where David began teaching and Norma started nursing. Her nursing career lasted 43 years and she said she loved every minute of it. David and Norma lived and worked in many places, raising a family of four children. David and Norma’s parents had taught them to love and follow God, and they had each made a commitment to God. David and Norma followed their parents’ example and taught their own children about God’s love and forgiveness. Church was a place to learn about God and be with others who shared their faith, so David and Norma took their family regularly everySunday. This heritage of faith remains one of their most meaningful legacies. Norma loved her family and her passion was her ten grandchildren. Visits and holidays with the family were her favorite times. She enjoyed quilting and other handcrafts with her friends at her winter home in Lakeland, Florida. Traveling was another hobby.
