Gerald Delane “Sonny” Scott

Gerald Delane “Sonny” Scott, 78, of Phil Campbell, passed away Dec. 31, 2021, at Huntsville Hospital.

Sonny was a devoted Christian, a loving husband, wonderful father and grandfather who loved his family with all of his heart. He always said “If you ever get into a tight spot, call on Jesus.”

Sonny was a lifelong Auburn fan. Sonny remained positive until the very end, and his family will remember this verse from 2 Timothy 4:7 and know this applied to Sonny, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

He was preceded in death by his parents, Hardy and Arnova (Gober) Scott, and brothers, Bill Scott, Wayne Scott, and Anthony Scott.

He leaves to cherish his memory his wife of 57 years, Sharron Kaye Hargett Scott; son, Greg Scott (Robin); grandchildren, Taylor Morgan (Dustin) and Haley Hargett (Levi); great-grandchildren, Scott Morgan and Annie Morgan; sister, Mary Jo Motes; several nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.

The visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. Jan. 3 at Spry Memorial Chapel. The funeral will be at 1 p.m. Jan. 4 at Spry Memorial Chapel with Dr. Scott Delashaw and Bro. Gary Yielding officiating the service. Burial will be at Franklin Memory Gardens. The family asks that everyone wear a mask – no entry without one.

The pallbearers will be Dustin Morgan, Levi Hargett, Wayne Jackson, Tommy Jackson, Joseph Medina and Roger Scott.
