Ami Virginia Scott Watson of Lynchburg, VA., passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 1, 2020 after a short illness.

Born in Bedford County, VA. on July 18, 1942 to the late Rosella Scott Sr., and Lucille Davis Scott, she was the wife of the late Thomas A. Watson. As a lifelong, devoted child of Christ, she frequently attended Altha Grove Baptist Church, and St. Paul Baptist Church.

Ami was preceded in death by a brother, George Lewis Scott, and two sisters; Gracie Elizabeth Scott Lee, and Mary Frances Scott White. She is survived by a daughter, Kellie Watson Waters (Gregory), and two sons, Dion A. Lee- adopted (Lisa), and Dr. Jerome T. Watson (Karen). Her adoring grandchildren LeAndra Waters, Bryson Lee, Karyn Waters, Kyrsten Watson, Sheridan Lee, and Aaron Watson.

After retiring from Appalachian Power Company, she remained active within her community. One of her favorite activities included being an integral member of the reunion committee at her high school, Susie G. Gibson, where she graduated at the top of her class in 1961.

Witty, candid, and an extremely loyal confidant to friends and family, Ami's opinion was always highly valued and appreciated.
