Clark Rhea Scott: May 13, 1940 - May 1, 2022
COSCA Treasurer Clark Rhea Scott, 81, of Charlotte, North Carolina, took his final flight on May 1, 2022, surrounded by his immediate family. Clark was born on May 13, 1940, in Centralia, Illinois, and grew up in East Texas and Venezuela. In 1961, Clark met his wife, Judith Josefina Campos of Anaco, Venezuela, at the Mobil Oil Company Club. Clark began his three-decades-long aviation career with Pan American World Airways in 1966. His interest in genealogy led to volunteering with Clan Scott for over 40 years, the Council of Scottish Clans and Associations (COSCA), and Scottish Heritage USA. Funeral Mass was held on May 14, 2022, in Fort Mill, SC, and burial took place in Murchison, TX, on May 18, 2022. COSCA was represented at both events.
