suddenly passed away Friday evening December 23, 2022 as a result of a motor vehicle accident. “Lee” as he was known by his friends was born May 29th, 1952 in Wheeling, WV to the late Lillian P. Pryor and Henry L. Scott Sr. He graduated from Frontier High School in 1970 and graduated from Marietta College “Summa Cum Loud” in 1974 with a B.A. in Business Administration. He began his working career with Goodyear Tire as an account manager before choosing to take over his father’s business Scott’s BP in Fly, Ohio which he proudly ran for for over a decade. In 1996 Lee became the owner and proprietor of the New Martinsville Mini Storage which he ran until present day. On July 2, 1983 Lee married his best friend and life partner the late Colleen D. Potts in Marietta, Ohio. They enjoyed traveling and attending many unforgettable concerts together over the years. Lee was a proud member of many organizations including New Matamoras Methodist Church, Matamoras Lodge # 374 F. & A.M., Matamoras Chapter #261 Order of the Eastern Star serving as Worthy Patron in 1993 with his wife serving as Worthy Matron. He was a member of the AASR Valley of Cambridge, Matamoras Social Shrine Club, New Martinsville Moose Lodge # 931 and the B.P.O. Elks # 477 Marietta, OH.

H. Lee is survived by his two daughters Julianna L. Morris (Brandon) of Lakewood, OH and Bethany S. Scott of Pittsburgh, PA. He recently became a “pap pap” to his first grandchild Liliana C. Morris in July of 2021 whom he adored.

Lee never met a stranger and made friends everywhere he went. His laugh and zest for life and fun was contagious. He truly lived a full life and would not want any of us to be sad. He wasnát here for a long time but he was here for a good time.
