Brenda Ferguson Scott, 73 of Rocky Mount and Richmond went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, February 8, 2020. She was born in Glade Hill on February, 1 1947, the daughter of the late Elwood Eldridge Ferguson and Doris Brooks Ferguson. She was a graduate of Drewry Mason High School 1965, Longwood College 1970 and later finished her Master’s at Stephen F. Austin. Her talent and occupation was a foreign language teacher, where she helped students learn Spanish and French at Patrick, Franklin and Chesterfield Counties.

When her parents became ill in their later years, she retired early and moved back to care for and honor them. She found new joy in becoming “Nana Brenda” in 2014 and loved her little “Nate” the remainder of her days. Surviving are her only son, Jeffrey Elliott Scott, daughter-in-law, Heather Christine Scott; and only grandchild, Nathanael Elijah Scott. Also surviving are her sister, Pamela Ferguson Jennings; brother, Timmie Elwood Ferguson; nephew, Lance K. Ferguson.
