MENTONE — Lula June Scott, Claypool, passed to heaven on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2018, at age 90.
She was born to the late Edward and Edna Ragon on Jan. 21, 1927, in Lawrenceville, Ill. She married the late Estel “Ike” C. Scott, a U.S. Army and World War II veteran, in 1946, and they lived most of their lives in the Burket-Claypool area.
Lula, who went by “June,” enjoyed fishing and loved to cook and bake with her dog, Ladybug, at her feet.
