Dorsie B. Scott

Dorsie Brian Scott was born in Waynesville, Missouri on March 14, 1941. He grew up in Richland, Missouri, graduating from Richland High School in 1959. For some time, he ran a gas station. He was drafted into the Army in 1963, did basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, and served as a draftsman stationed at Pioneer Kaserne at Hanau, Germany. After serving in the Army for two years, Dorsie was a draftsman at Ft. Leonard Wood. He then attended the University of Missouri, Columbia, where he met and married Susan Lee Longan, his wife of 57 years. They moved back to Richland in 1972, and Dorsie started working at Pulaski County Bank, working there for nearly 30 years. Dorsie loved to hunt and fish. He went on numerous hunting trips with friends and family. Some days, he couldn’t resist sneaking in some fishing before going to work. He loved his boys dearly and played guitar and sang to them when they were little. He also spent many hours working in the vegetable garden. He made delicious applesauce, hash browns, chili, and he was handy with a barbecue grill. In younger years he enjoyed playing softball, basketball, and co-ed volleyball in the Richland Park’s League. Dorsie and Susan enjoyed walking their gravel roads getting exercise, tidying up the neighborhood, and appreciating God’s creation. He also had several memorable trips with friends and family. One of his favorites was going to Florida with Susan and their friends Coy and Iva Nell Workman to see the St. Louis Cardinals play at Spring Training, and another was going to the Grand Canyon with Susan and his sons and daughter-in-law. He is survived by his wife, Susan Lee Scott; and his sons, Joseph Brian Scott (Kibby Smith), and David Lee Scott (and Hunter, Logos, and Meadow).
