Hassie Louvenia White Scott lived up to her favorite mantra, "A body in motion stays in motion."
She had the best attendance at the Emmaus House senior program, where she loved to dance, quilt, paint pictures and make pads for cancer patients. She was one of the oldest and fastest participants in the city's Senior Walk.
She also participated in protests on social issues and bridged the generation gap to encourage young adults back to church.
"She was always busy. She never sat down. She felt it was her calling to be engaged," said Columbus Ward, former assistant director in charge of senior programs at the Emmaus House. "Because she was older than us and so active, she motivated us to never give up."
Friends and family recall a spunky but kindhearted Christian who didn't slow down during her golden years. She loved to help others and have fun.
