Opal Scott, 89, of Hot Springs, passed away peacefully on Aug. 26, 2015, surrounded by family.
Opal was born to the late Leland and Nellie Kizer Weatherford. Opal was a member of the Lake Hamilton Assembly of God and also attended the Lockhaven Church of the Nazarene.
She was predeceased by her husband, Charles, and her siblings, Hershel Weatherford and Lorene Traywick.
Opal loved to travel especially through the Smoky Mountains. Cades Cove was a favorite destination. Opal was a proud member of the Kroger Coffee Club, where a donut and coffee accompanied many philosophical discussions. She spent afternoons tending her vegetable garden and roses.
These were things that she loved, but none more than her late husband, Chuck; her daughter, Brenda (Houpt); and her grandchildren, Tiffany and Tyler (Houpt). Opal is also survived by her sisters, Wilma Walker and Verlene (Robert) Oliver; and by her brother, Curtis (Geraldine) Weatherford. She was deeply loved by a host of nieces and nephews.
Pallbearers are Tyler Houpt, Jerry Oliver, Ron King, Tommy Traywick, Mitch Weatherford, Matt Weatherford, Mark Weatherford, Greg Weatherford and Lonnie Weatherford.
Honorary Pallbearers are Marsha King, Melissa King, the staff at Hollywood Family Clinic, Arkansas Hospice staff, Gentiva Home Health workers and NPMC Rehab and Med II unit.
Visitation will be at Gross Funeral home from 6-8 p.m. today. Funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday with the Rev. Gwin Horton and the Rev. J.B. Evans. Burial will follow in Rushfork Cemetery.
