George Scott

George Scott, age 88 of Broken Arrow, passed away peacefully in his home October 28, 2025, after battling declining health for several months. Born December 1st in Stilwell, Oklahoma to parents Lacie [Les] Scott and Lena Duncan Scott, He was very athletic as a teen. He played quarter- and fullback for the Stilwell Indians; George was also highlighted in several local newspapers, played baseball and boxed in a Golden Gloves tournament He volunteered for the U.S. Army in 1960, became a lifeguard, sailed on a Logistics Support vessel, traveled to France and Germany before his honorable discharge. Finding a job as shop helper in a welding shop, he eventually became a top welder with a ‘golden arm’ and worked several years at Yuba Heat Transfer. When a long strike kept his family too long between paychecks, he moved on to become a delivery driver for Century Ice Co and eventually retired only to resurface a year later at Sam’s Wholesale Club where he made several long-lasting friendships in the Demo group. They would meet for meals and casino runs years after they all retired from Sam’s. The Hard Rock Tulsa was his favorite but he had visited almost every casino in Oklahoma and the surrounding areas. Always quiet, charming and funny, many people recognized George everywhere he went, from gas stations to grocery stores, to casinos. George also loved animals but was especially fond of these babies: Patty Cake and Jabonie, Sassy, Precious, Tabasco, Zephyr and Chi and of course the two he left behind: Nuna and Usti His last few years were spent watching Osiyo, Voices of the Cherokee People, all televised OU, TU and OSU games and enjoyed seeing some high school friends, family and football buddies in Tahlequah. He also visited Utah’s Zion National Park, saw both the Oklahoma City Museum of Art [Chihuly glass collection] and when it opened, the First Americans Museum where he enjoyed his first ride on an electric scooter. Preceded in death by his loving wife Pamela, his sister Betty, brother Curtis and niece Deni, George is survived by his daughter Kathy, granddaughter Asia, several nephews, nieces and cousins. We all love you and miss you very much. Until we meet again, donadagohvi.
