Judy Carrol Scott, age 84, of Pittsboro, North Carolina, passed away on Sunday, October 18, 2026. She was born on June 20, 1942, in Clintwood, Virginia, to the late Burns Presley Mullins and Mallie (Beverly) Mullins.

Judy moved with her family to Detroit, Michigan, in 1951 where she spent seven years before moving to Newark, Delaware. She graduated from Newark High School in 1961. It was during her high school years that she met James “Scotty” Scott, the love of her life. Their story began as high school sweethearts and grew into a lifelong love when they married on July 30, 1965. They shared many cherished years together until Scotty passed away in 1984, leaving behind a love and memories that would always remain a part of her life.

Throughout the years, Judy worked at several places throughout Newark, including Jimmy’s Diner, M&M Cleaners, Rodel, and the YMCA. Through her work and everyday interactions, she became part of the community she called home. In her spare time, Judy enjoyed crocheting and working on word search puzzles. These simple pleasures brought her joy.

May she rest in peace, reunited with Scotty, and forever held in the hearts of those she loved so dearly.

Judy is survived by her daughter, Pamela Boilen and her husband, Brian; grandsons: Zak Boilen, Logan Boilen, and Noah Boilen; brother, Gene Mullins, and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents and husband, Judy is preceded in death by her daughter, Sharron and her twin brother, Richard Mullins.
