Charles & Marilee Scott Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Charles and Marilee Scott, both 85, of Bartlesville, shared more than 62 years of loving marriage together before passing on the same day, Tuesday, Jan. 23, from a recent illness. The high school sweethearts were classmates who fell in love and grew up together. They were united in marriage on March 12, 1955, in Okla. City, and the couple raised their only daughter Rene Scott who now lives in Houston. Charles Neil Scott was born in Shawnee, OK, to Horace and Una Scott on April 19, 1932. At a young age, his family moved to Oklahoma City where he attended Classen High School. He furthered his studies at the Univ. of Oklahoma in Norman and joined the ROTC program (Reserve Officers’ Training Corps). After graduating with his bachelor’s degree in Geophysics, Charles started working for Phillips Petroleum Co. He then served in the Army Corps of Engineers, spending two years in Germany. Throughout his 38-year career, Charles was assigned to various locations before finally retiring from Phillips in 1992 in Bartlesville. On Charles’ side of the family, he is survived by his sister Anne Boydston of Oklahoma City. Marilee Evans was born in Dallas, TX to Charlie Evans and Mildred Christian Evans Dec. 21, 1932.

Marilee accompanied Charles during his military duty in Germany before returning home to Oklahoma. She was a dedicated homemaker and an active member of her community. They volunteered at the MUTUAL Girls Club (Methodists United to Use Applied Love) and at their East Cross Methodist church.
