Lisa Ann Scott

Lisa Ann Scott, 64, of Springfield, Missouri, was called home to Heaven at midnight on December 4, 2025. Lisa was surrounded by her children, grandchildren, close friends and the comfort of her favorite worship music. Lisa was born on July 26, 1961 in St. Louis, Missouri. She is survived by her parents, Cecil and Sheila Scott, brother David Scott and sister Karen (Scott) Ray. Lisa had 5 children and 8 grandchildren, all of whom she is survived by: Erica Neale (Scott) Fulbright: Parker Reagan Scott, Matthew Roland Scott: Carter Dale Scott and Carson Matthew Scott, Alan Russell Scott: Lilly Nichole Scott and Chloe Elise Scott, Amber Maree Scott: Mason Armando Bailey and Cody Maverick Scott and Tara Janelle Scott: Maks Wayne Bowling.

Erica: Mom-holding your hand for your last breath is a moment I will never forget. In order to be healed, I knew that Jesus would have to take your hand from mine. That’s my only comfort- is knowing that you are healed and out of pain. Your body is yours again. “Halleluyer!” Thank you for being the best “nammaw” to Parker- he will never question your love. Every time he came home, he had bags of stuff and my eyes would roll. I desperately miss seeing “Joan Crawford” call me- an inside joke that others probably thought was awful but we enjoyed it. The truth is, you were nothing like her. Love ya, Joan.

Matthew: Lisa & the Scott 5. Mom’s love for all of us was deep and unconditional, each in our own ways. Mom loved the Lord and faith and praise was her life. Mom was always talking about going to see Jesus and how close we were to that. You couldn’t walk in our house without hearing her singing with all her heart and praise to God. Mom traveled to Uganda on mission trips-the Lord had put on her heart to go and help people. Mom absolutely loved that. I remember mom being so happy about being able to do that. Mom had picked out 5 different gifts from each of us so we could share and remember that joy with her. I remember telling her I couldn’t go because of the shots (I don’t do needles) and the flight. Mom had a gift for connecting with people, whether through her decades of Mary Kay or her local TV show “Bid N Time,” or simply through her warm smile and conversation about Jesus. Mom was a friend to everyone. Mom was loved by so many people. She was a gift and a blessing for us all. She was a huge STL Rams fan and loved football. I remember her yelling and shouting at the TV if the Rams were playing badly. Mom was also a STL Cardinals fan and she gave me the greatest gift in life: a love for baseball. Mom would take me to Cards games as often as she could. I remember one game, she handed me a pair of binoculars so I could see my favorite player, Mark McGwire. I’ll never forget that. Mom would always find and buy Cardinals memorabilia- several treasures like replica World Series rings, magazines and miniature Busch stadiums.I will always cherish these moments and the gifts and the love of the game she gave me. Mom was my constant- the person I called for anything and everything. I am who I am because of her strength, her faith and her love for us kids. Mom gave us a good life: one full of God, love and moments we all share with each other. I’ll always miss her and want her here with me, but I know she is where she belongs and where she wanted to go: singing and praising with Jesus. I know she is always with me, in my thoughts, prayers and how I move forward. I know that she will always answer my calls, like she has everytime I call her. I love you mom, always!

Your son,

Matthew Roland

Alan: My mother was always too big for this world. Her faith in God was undeniable. She spent her time on earth making sure everyone knew about Jesus and a new life in Heaven. In her downtime, she also single-handedly raised 5 kids that are all still well and thriving. My mom was waiting for this moment her whole life, knowing she’d be called to Jesus and finally be able to go to her real home. We will miss the way she would liven up the room, but I’m sure she’s up there doing the same. We love you, Mom.

Amber: Mom was a woman of faith. A very deep faith. She loved the Lord, shopping and us kids. She really loved the grandkids. Any Bible question or debate I had I could take to her. Her laugh alone was contagious enough to change your whole mood. She was always buying stuff but we knew that there was always something for us or the grandkids. I miss her so much. Thank you for everything, Mom!

Tara: She was the constant in our lives and lifeline for many. She was the silent supporter, the loud mouth blabber and firm believer. She’d sing with her heart, cry with her soul and yell with her mouth. Melodies would roll off her tongue sounding just as they should. Cries would be heard as pleas for second chances. Yells sounding like her breaking point. She was just a girl, too. Living her life for the first time. She didn’t have it all figured out, she just would figure it out. She doesn’t have to anymore, her eternity is planned for her.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

Cremation rites will be accorded by Adams Crematory. 

In lieu of flowers/gifts, her children ask that donations be made to Watoto Ministries, of which Lisa was a missionary for and served two trips in Africa. Watoto brings hope and healing to orphaned and vulnerable children in Uganda and South Sudan. https://www.watoto.com/
