Celebrating the Life of V. Lorene Scott

Today, we gather to honor and celebrate the remarkable life of V. Lorene Scott, lovingly known as “Lorene” or “Lo” who was Choctaw and Chickasaw. She was gifted the spiritual name "Gentleness Woman" in traditional ceremony many years ago. Her greatest honor was becoming "Grandma." Her fondest memories are living on the Ihanktonwan Dakota Oyate reservation in Marty, South Dakota making relatives. On October 3, 2025, at the age of 81, Grandma Lorene passed away peacefully, surrounded by those who cherished her most. Born on May 17, 1944, in Coal County, Oklahoma, she was the daughter of Irvin Cole and Grace Carpenter (Leflore).

Lorene devoted 25 years of her life to the nursing profession, serving with unwavering passion and grace. Her commitment to caring for others touched countless lives, and she was deeply admired for her quiet strength, generous spirit, and steadfast love for her family. Beyond her career, Lorene found joy in sewing and spending meaningful time with her loved ones. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, always putting her family at the center of her life. Lorene’s warmth, devotion to her culture and Creator, and her caring nature made her a cherished presence in the lives of all who knew her.

In addition to her dedication to nursing and family, Lorene was a respected pipe carrier and Sundancer at the Greenwood Sundance grounds with the Ihanktonwan Dakota Oyate for many years. She played a vital role as a women’s spiritual leader, guiding and uplifting others in her women’s circle through wisdom and compassion. Lorene’s spiritual beliefs profoundly shaped her approach to caring for her community and family. She was known for her generosity—feeding and raising countless children, cooking for Sundance singers, and supporting community gatherings with unwavering kindness.

As a boarding school survivor, Lorene endured the loss of her language and the sacred way of life but found healing and resilience through her cultural and spiritual traditions during her time in South Dakota. In her final moments, she enjoyed singing Sundance songs in the company of her loved ones. Lorene will be remembered as a strong, vocal, and fierce woman, whose gentle love shone especially for her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the entire community. Her devotion to serving others will remain an enduring inspiration to all who knew her.

Lorene is survived by her son, Jason Scott, and his wife Vanessa of Durant, Oklahoma; her daughters, Sonya Frazier and her husband George of Ada, Oklahoma, Monica Jackson of Lawrence, Kansas, and Debbie Unap of Skiatook, Oklahoma. She is also survived by her siblings: V. Regina Anderson of Ada, Oklahoma; Jo Hollingsworth of McAlester, Oklahoma; Betty Sue Allen (Odes) of Vinita, Oklahoma; Michael Carpenter of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; John Carpenter and his wife Shelley of Ada, Oklahoma; Elizabeth Gibson and her husband Jerry of Ottawa; Gerald Carpenter and his wife Dora of Ada, Oklahoma; Terry Cole and his wife Pamela; and Irvin Cole Jr. Lorene leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, an extended family, and especially her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren who she cherished the most. Her legacy will be carried forward by all who loved her, including a host of extended family, friends and relatives.

Lorene was preceded in death by her daughter, Gayla Scott; siblings, Norma Garcia, Alan Carpenter and wife Sonny, Ernest L. Cole, Sherman E. Cole, Patricia A. Mayer, Donna J. Mayo, Anthony Cole, Teresa Welch, and Lynn Humphrey; her brother-in-law, Edward F. Mayer; and her grandparents, Anice and Aurora (Noah) Cole.

Pallbearers for the service will be Nicholas Jackson, Little Sky Frazier, Thomas Scott, Jacob Frazier, Max Barnoski, Angelo Nuño, Michael Boucher, and Landon Fixico.

Honorary pallbearers include Jalen Frazier, Bobbie Unap, Joseph Unap, Andrew Unap, and Benjamin Scott.

In keeping with Lorene's cultural and spiritual traditions, the family will honor her with a traditional ceremony by lighting a sacred fire to guide her spiritual journey for four days and nights. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects, as Lorene’s viewing will be at the family home, located at 12825 County Road 3530 in Ada.

UPDATE**
A family night will be held on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 7:00PM at Phillips Funera Home in Ada.

All who knew and loved Lorene are welcome to come and share their memories, offering stories and support as part of the healing process.

Lorene’s life will be celebrated on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, at 11:00 AM at the Chickasaw Nation Community Center in Ada. Burial will follow at Boiling Springs Cemetery in Lula, Oklahoma, with a meal afterward at the Chickasaw Nation Community Center in Ada.

The lessons she taught, the values she held, and the memories they created together will forever be a part of who they are.
Megan loved DYI projects and scrapbooking during her free time. From Holiday ornaments of handmade items that will be treasured for years to come to arts and crafts to sell at craft shows. Megan had so much fun doing these projects with her children.
