Maurice Lee Scott October 17, 1943 - July 13, 2019 Lee Scott passed peacefully in his sleep at his home of 56 years. His wife Sandy was right by his side, just as he would have wished. Born in Detroit, Michigan, he and his mom moved to southern Oregon when he was 6 months old. He never knew his dad. Even without a role model to look up to, he still became the best father a man could be. Devotion to family was his main priority. He graduated from Ashland High School, class of 1961, and married Sandra Tolliver on March 30, 1962. Together, they raised two boys, Marcus and Timothy, and one adopted girl, Karen. Lee worked for nearly 20 years at the Napa Auto Parts store in Ashland, which was first Peterson's Auto Parts and then McLennan's Auto Parts. Lee was an intelligent, mechanically minded man who knew how to treat a customer, and could always help you solve your car problems. He also became a real estate broker, working for Gateway Realty, Northwest Brokers, and Lively Real Estate in Ashland. Lee enjoyed travel and woodworking. He spent a lot of quality time visiting Mexico. He truly loved the climate, pace, and people of Mexico. Lee is survived by his wife of 57 years Sandra, his boys Marcus of Talent and Timothy of Ashland, and his sister Norma. He is the proud grandpa of 5 grandkids, Elizabeth in Eugene, Lukas and Samuel in Portland, Noah in Jacksonville, and Nicholas in Ashland. Lee was dearly loved by his family. His sense of humor, sage advice, and good-natured manner will be missed by all who knew him, especially those who knew him well. He was preceded in death by his mother Shirley and father Joseph Scott, and by his daughter Karen who passed just 4 years ago. Friends and family are invited to his memorial on Tuesday, July 23, 2019 from 11:00am-1:00pm at the Grace Lutheran Church, 660 Frances Lane, Ashland, Oregon 97520. Drinks and snacks will be provided by the church.
