Delores Adele Scott

Dolores Adele Hope was born on May 15th, 1929 in Brooklyn, NY to the late Amos and Dora Hope who migrated to the US from Barbados. She was preceded in death, by her brother Arnold Hope. Dolores attended Girls High School in Brooklyn, New York and later attended a business school. She worked at Lane Bryant & Wonder Bread & retired from New York City Transit Authority after 25 years of service. Dolores married Charles Edward Scott on August 22nd, 1952 whom preceded her in death. Through this union, their two daughters, Charlene & Lisa were born. Dolores also has a step-daughter, Sylvia Scott. Dolores accepted Christ as her personal savior in April 1966 & became a member of Good Tidings Gospel Hall. She was baptized there and fellowshipped there for many year and also at Bedford Central Presbyterian Church for many years. Around that time, she and nine other women were led by the Lord and inspired by the Billy Graham Crusade to create the Christian Workshop. This continued for over 30 years. They were pioneers in home bible study for professional women and community outreach. They visited residents of nursing homes and hosted a yearly Vacation Bible School, which her grandchildren attended for almost ten years. Dolores also held Good News Clubs in her front yard and hosted Bible study and prayer meetings in her home. This led to the formation of More Than Conquerors Ministry which continues today after more than fifteen years. After several visits attending Ebenezer Missionary Chapel, she became a part of their fellowship for 25 years until she relocated to Delaware. While in Delaware, she joined Cornerstone Fellowship Baptist Church, where she remained active in several ministries. Dolores loved the Lord & was always willing to lend a helping hand. Although she birthed only two daughters, she “adopted” several other children and grand children. She frequently showcased her pride in her daughters’ and grandchildren’s achievements. In her remaining years, she continued with zeal of her testimony of God’s goodness and grace to her, despite her illness. She loved to tell anyone who would listen of all of her close calls with death. Her end came peacefully resting in the arms of her daughters. In her absence, she wants us to remember to continue to serve and trust the Lord. She was preceded in death by her two great and devoted friends; Millicent Showell and Henrietta Spencer. She leaves to cherish her memory, her two daughters and their spouses: Charlene Lowe (Richard), and Lisa Nurse (Colin), grandchildren: Kyle Thornton, Christina Nurse- Baptiste (Hayden), Christine Lowe (with Akwei Fuller), Kimberly Nurse (with Eric Gregory), and Gabrielle Lowe, her step-daughter Sylvia Scott, her great-grandchildren; Akaelyn, Bryson, and Judah, her nieces Gina Hope-Green and Star Hope, her nephew Keith Hope, her devoted friend of many years; Joyce Collymore, her church families, her many adopted sons and daughters and many other beloved family members and friends.
