Obituary for Anna M. Howe Scott
Anna Marie Howe Scott, 88, last of the Shoshone family and a longtime resident of Ignacio, died May 29, 2012, in her home in Ignacio.
Anna was born March 8, 1924, to Frank Howe Jr., and Flora Shoshone Howe at her uncle Ed Howe's house on 172 north of where the new casino is now located.
She was raised in Ignacio, then moved to Mancos Creek with her father and mother and brother. She spent summers at their camp, and as a young lady she attended Ute Vocational School, where she graduated in a class of five students in 1945. The only one left is Chris Baker. In August 1946 she married Walter M. Scott. They lived in the Boys’ Dormitory, later moving to North Carolina. When Walter finished his bachelor’s degree, they moved back home and Walter got his master’s degree from Adams State in Alamosa.
Walter started teaching school in Ignacio and Anna went to work for the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, and she was a council member under Council Chairman John Baker, Sr. She was in Council for two terms at a time when Council met in the old Rec Hall at Ute Park. She then worked for Tribal Services with Phoebe Heath, Isabel Kent, Vinnie Valdez, and Mack O’Neal. She retired in the 1980s.
Anna was Grand Marshal for the 91st Southern Ute Fair. Anna raised three sons and one daughter, a granddaughter and a grandson. She was well known in the community and she will be remembered for her spunky attitude and cheerful giggle and smile. She will be greatly missed by her family and close friends.
Anna was preceded in death by husband, Walter Scott, and son Clayborn Scott.
She is survived by son Daniel Weaver, Sr., grandson Daniel Weaver, Jr., daughter Roberta Scott, and granddaughter Krista Weaver, all of Ignacio. She is also survived by five grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren.
A rosary will be recited at St. Ignatius Catholic Church Monday, June 4, 2012, beginning at 6:30 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 5, 2012, at St. Ignatius Catholic Church.
