William “Bill” Warren Scott

William Warren Scott, 77, died Thursday, Feb. 15.  He was preceded in death by his parents Bernyece and Warren Scott.  He is survived by his wife, Jeanne Scott; his daughter Alison Doran Adams, her husband Tyler Adams, and grandson Reece Adams; his son Sam Patrick Scott, his wife Stephanie Scott, and granddaughter Madeline Scott.

Bill was a life-long Lawrence resident leaving Lawrence only to attend Bethany College and for a brief residency in Lindsborg before returning.

He dedicated his professional life to education.  He taught in the Lindsborg school district, Shawnee Heights school district, and Baldwin School district where he ended his career as the Principal of Vinland Elementary School.

Bill touched the lives of many young men and women through his coaching of baseball, basketball, tennis, and track through Lawrence Rec programs as well as each school district in which he was employed.

He will be remembered for his quick wit, incredible memory of trivia (sports, music, history—basically any topic).   He treasured the many friendships he made throughout his life; he never forgot a name or a face.

Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, February 24, 2024 at the First United Methodist Church, 946 Vermont Street, Lawrence, KS.
