Former Century Council Member Passes Away
February 25, 2011
Former Century Town Council member Sharon Scott was found dead in her home last night.
Scott’s husband returned to their home about 9:45 Thursday night in the 200 block of West Highway to find his wife deceased. Scott’s death was natural and no foul play was suspected, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Scott did not seek re-election to her District 5 seat on the Century Town Council last year.
“I love Century and everything about Century,” she said when she announced she would not seek re-election, “but it was just not for me to run again.”
“I want to thank everybody for the encouraging words,” Scott said at her final council meeting in December, as she shared a story about her son who is in the military that is quick to tell everyone that he meets that he is from Century, Florida. “It’s Century pride,” she said. “We are not from Pensacola; we are from Century, Florida.”
“I go to sleep at night, so I must have done something right…even Jesus Christ could not please everybody,” she added.
Funeral arrangements for Sharon Scott have not yet been announced.

Sharon, each year I miss you more and more. Our family is and will
never be the same. I miss you our fights, makeups and yes
our shared discoveries. I recall when you gave your life to
Christ and said “I’m at Bethel with Charles and Our family”.
How excited I was, how you welcomed my husband and
son into the fold. One time I remember so well
Darryl and I rented condo a On the beach. Gwen was their
Charles, you, Bianca in the oven, Nae, Bennie, Penny and Philip
R all went out to eat we had so many
laughs. Praise God for the memories
My heart aches for a person that was taken from the earth way to soon.All my prayers and condolences go out to the family. Sharon,may you rest in peace
I was shocked about Sharon’s passing. She was a wonderful person and will be truly missed. Our condolences to the family. May she rest in heavenly peace.
Our deepest sympathy and love to the entire family. We are praying for you. May Sharon rest in peace.
I was shocked and sadden to hear of my cousin Sharons transition. Only Tuesday the family were together in Ohio for the funeral services of Uncle
Willie (Jack). You will be missed, and we’re all praying for the Scott family,
Peace be with you.
Courtney,
Not sure if you remember me; however I just wanted to say I was sorry for the loss of your mother. It had been a while since I had seen her but I do remember how much I enjoyed talking with her when I could. I always made sure to ask how you and your daughter were doing.
My prayers are with you and your whole family during this difficult time.
God Bless!!
To the Scott Family, I offer my condolences to your family for the loss of Sharon. Sharon was a wonderful person who I deeply loved and enjoyed being around. When I was in high school at Flomaton High School and Sharon attended Century High School we always kept in touch and shared things about our school, friends and families. I remember when I got saved I shared my testimony with Sharon and she encouraged me to continue to servie the Lord and it will pay off after a while. And God has let me live to understand what Sharon was talking about. May God comfort your family during such a trying time. Remember earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. RIP Sharon you could not be in better hands than the Lord!
I prayers goes out to Courtney,Tray,Philip, and Mr.Charles. Mrs.Sharon will be dearly missed by the community. Her death was a shock too all. Whenever I did see her, she always had a smile on her face. Whether she was driving down the road in the truck or I saw her in the grocery store. She always kept a smile on her face. And now she is smiling down on all of you being your Guardian Angel. It will be different now, not being able to see her drive down the road. But God knew what was best for her.
keeping all of you in prayer,
Whittney Smiley
We had the opportunity to talk with Sharon while she was in Ohio. In fact, she pulled up a chair and sat and talked with me for about 30 minutes. As always, her conversation was about her husband and children. Be encouraged by her legacy. She was most proud of being a loving wife and mother. We will always remember her for her warm, energetic and uplifting personality. Our love and condolences to the Scott family.
We were priviliged to spend time with Sharon in Ohio during the week prior to her death. In fact, we remember saying good-bye to her before leaving for her flight out of Akron International Airport. She shared many memories with us and we will forever cherish each moment spent with her. To her Husband, Children, and all who loved her … we ask that you simply follow her legacy of loving people sincerely, caring about the plight of others, and being genuine in dealing with people. God called home an angel who resided with us for a little while and we thank God for her life.
To the family of my classmate Sharon Scott, I am so sadden to know about Sharon passing. She was a great friend to me during our school days. Sharon was always willing to help you in school or any way she could. I am going to miss seeing her when I come home to visit because she would always fine time to see me and talk. Sharon was a very friendly person loved to laugh and crack jokes. My time spent with her during school from the first grade to the 12th grade I will never forget. We had some fun days. Family be strong and know Sharon was loved by many and will be missed by many. RIP my Dear Classmate and friend.

Someone said it below – but it deserves saying again. Sharon was a delight to know. So sorry for your and your family’s loss, Charles.
I really hated to hear about Sharon’s passing. She was a wonderful, involved parent when I taught at Century Elementary School. I remember her also being on the Parent Advirosry Council for Northview High School, when several teachers and community leaders went to Tennessee or North Carolina to look at the high school that Northview was modeled after.
Sharon; such a wonderful woman. Who took such pride in her family. Ask her about Trey and her face would light up. I’m gonna miss running into you at the post office Sharon. You were such a delight to know. Best wishes to her family and friends left behind. Always remember her attitude and smile.
See you again one day, my friend.
I also was saddened to hear of Sharons death. Sharon was a sweet lady and was a good councilwoman. My prayers for her family and friends she leaves behind.
My prayers are with the fmily and friends of Sharon in your time of loss and grief.
So sorry to hear this news. Sharon was a good friend, loved her community, and most of all her family. Every time I saw her she always ask about my children and was so proud of hers. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.
I, too, was shocked and saddened to hear this news. Sharon left a great legacy behind for Century’s Town Council as well as for all of Century’s citizens. I never saw her without that wonderful smile flashing for all the world to delight in! Prayers are with you all.
So sorry to hear this. Prayer’s for the family.
She will be missed! She was a kind and caring person. My deepest sympathies go out her family!
To The Scott Family,
I was saddened to read of Sharon’s death. Please know that our prayers are with you during this difficult time. Sharon worked with me at Century Memorial Hospital while she was a student at Century High School. I enjoyed being around Sharon and I know she liked Chocolate Cake. I also, worked with Mrs. Novella and Charlene.
This is so sad and tragic. I’ll be praying for the family. May God be with them in this time of need and always.
So sorry to read this,Prayers go out to the family.She was a sweet Lady and will be missed.Rest in Peace Sharon.
