Georgia (Georgie) Isabell Franken Scott passed away peacefully on April 18, 2022 in Highland, Kansas surrounded by her loving family. Georgie, 98, was born on May 20, 1923 near Severance, KS to Eliza Roland Huss and Charles Huss. She was the only girl with four brothers. Georgie was the second youngest in her family and played on one of the premier girls’ basketball teams at Severance High School, graduating with class in 1941. In her later years, she fondly recalled her classmates and the days at Severance High.
She met Andrew Franken at a breakup picnic and they married on March 9, 1943. Seven children were born of this union. Andrew preceded her in death in 1965. Thanks to her brother Howard, Georgie was introduced to Charley Scott and they married in August 1967. Charley died in 2004. Her brothers Harold, Barney, Howard and Donnie all predeceased her. Georgie was also preceded in death by two of her children, Mike Franken and Julie Hegarty, and son-in-law Patrick J. Hegarty.
Georgie loved nothing more than family. She had a great sense of humor and wit. She was a wonderful cook and was often known to drop by with a freshly baked apple pie to share. She enjoyed preparing many family meals. Her coffee pot was always on and the conversations at her dining table were the best. She always had a good story to tell about one of the children, grandchildren or great-grandchildren.
She was known by many names, but her favorites were Mom and Grandma. Georgie will be fondly remembered by her children: Andrew L. (Lynda), Mary Lou (Nick) Theis, daughter-in-law Beverly, Kelly (Denice), Joe (Gina) and Tim (Peggy), a legacy of 15 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren as well numerous stepchildren. Nieces, nephews, neighbors and friends will mourn for them. Georgie’s heart knew no bounds, she loved us all and we will all be forever grateful to her.
Thank you to the wonderful staff at Two Timbers and Freedom Hospice for the loving care Mom received.
