Susan Bricker Scott

May 14, 1914 – December 10, 2011

Susan Bricker Scott, 97, of Fairfield and formerly of Winchester, MA and Center Ossipee, NH, the loving wife of the late Leslie “Jim” Scott, passed away peacefully in Fairfield, CT on December 10th.  Born in Cumberland, MD, she graduated from the Emergency Hospital School of Nursing in Washington, DC in 1935.  Sue and Jim married  in 1938, after which they began their long life together in Winchester and later retired to their lake cottage in Center Ossipee.  Her true mission in life, beyond her family and her work, was caring for and hosting people.  She lived by the words, “what do we live for, but to make life easier for others.”

Sue was a Registered Nurse with the Winchester Visiting Nurses Association and the Winchester Public Schools, and continued part-time nursing in Center Ossipee. She was a member of the En Ka Society and the Welfare Board in Winchester and served on the Board of Directors at Winchester Hospital.  She was also a member of The Church of the Epiphany Church in Winchester, All Saints Church of Wolfeboro, NH, and Christ Church Tashua of Trumbull CT.

Sue leaves behind many beloved family and friends of the next generation, all of whom she nurtured and loved with great zeal.  She is survived by: son Richard (Ivylyn) of Edwards, CO and Scottsdale, AZ; son Douglas (Robin) of Gorham, ME; daughter Janet Brogan (Chris); and, cherished grandchildren James, Sebastian and Gillian Brogan of Fairfield.

The Scott family is grateful for the devoted care she received  in the last six years of her life.
