Joanne (Lickliter) Scott

Joanne Scott, 78, of South Pittsburg, Tennessee, was called home to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.  Born on October 8, 1947, in Swan Pond, Kentucky, Joanne was the daughter of Joseph David Lickliter and Donna Hofmann Lickliter.  

Her life was shaped by faith, devotion, and the deep love she carried for her family.  Joanne was married to Gerald Scott for 60 years, a union marked by steadfast commitment and joy. She was a longtime member of Long Island Baptist Church, where her faith was a guiding light in all she did. 

A bookkeeper by trade, Joanne worked for various hotels throughout her career, known for her reliability, skill, and dedication. Outside of work, she found joy in creativity and community as a member of a quilting guild. She cherished caring for her family, and she especially loved being married to her husband, finding her greatest happiness in the life they built together.  Joanne leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and quiet strength. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Joanne is preceded in death by her father, Joseph David Lickliter; and mother, Donna Hofmann Lickliter.   Left to cherish her memories are her husband, Gerald Scott; sons, David Henderson Scott, Marty Joe Scott, Bradley Dale Scott; brothers, Steven Lickliter, Douglas Lickliter; sister, Janelle (Joel) Nissen; 1 grandchild, Nicholas; several nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.
