Carolyn Scott-Rembert age 65, went home to be with Jesus peacefully with her loved ones by her side on December 24, 2023, at home in Clarksville TN. Carolyn was born January 29, 1958, the daughter of the late Isaac Scott Sr. and Zula Mae Bentley-Scott of Levy, South Carolina.

Carolyn was a 1976 graduate of Savannah High School. Carolyn is a military veteran, joining the United States Army in 1979. She met the love of her life, Alphonse Rembert, at her first duty station in Germany and they married in 1986.  After retiring from the Army, she obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Organizational Management from Bethel College and a Master’s Degree from Austin Peay State University where she joined the Iota Chi Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Incorporated.  Upon completing her Master’s Degree, she worked for the Department of Defense, and the Department of Veterans Affairs accumulating 29 years of dedicated federal service. 

Carolyn is survived by her beloved husband, Alphonse Rembert, her brother Isaac Scott Jr. of Savannah, GA, her sisters Delphine Scott-Brown(Dennis) of Savannah, GA, Janice-Scott Naylor(John Jr.) of Clarksville, TN, Cynthia Scott-Fyall(Tim) of  Levy, SC, Marva Scott-Whitehead(Nathan) of Savannah, GA, LaTasha Scott-Cleaves(Alonzo) of Nashville, TN, Amy S.

Carolyn also leaves her loving best friend, Angela Minter of Nashville, TN and her little dogs Chloe and Yodie who miss her greatly.

To know her, was to be loved by her. Her love for gardening will be remembered by so many of her friends and family. She developed a ‘green thumb’ to care for the plants that she would simultaneously gift to her loved ones. She was ‘like a mom’ to countless family and friends and cooked for anyone who visited her home. Carolyn was an example of a woman driven by her purpose and faith in God, as she professed her life to the Lord as her savior at an early age. She spoke highly of how much she loved her church, Faith Outreach in Clarksville, TN. She will be missed by all the lives she has touched and encountered.

Carolyn had a way of always challenging those around her to be the best version of themselves. Though she had a tough exterior, she had a heart made of gold. Carolyn’s legacy will live on forever through the many stories she shared and the memories of those who had the opportunity to know her and love her.
