Elizabeth Parkhill Scott

November 30, 2009

Elizabeth Parkhill Scott, BA '42, of Caldwell, Texas, passed away Oct. 20. 
After graduating from Baylor, Scott began what would become a 37-year career as an accountant with Humble Oil (now Exxon/Mobil). It was a field that included few women at the time, and while she was employed in Houston, she met and married Walter M. "Scotty" Scott. Together, the Scotts embraced life and Baylor before Mr. Scott's passing in 2000. 
In memory of her parents and their love for Baylor, the Scotts established the Walter M. and Elizabeth Parkhill Scott Endowed Scholarship Fund, which supports business students. They also established the Elizabeth Parkhill Scott Golden Wave Band Endowed Scholarship Fund. Scott was a member of the Old Main Society, and she and her husband were honored as members of the James Huckins Society of the Medallion Fellowship and were recently inducted into the Golden Bear Circle of the Endowed Scholarship Society.
