In Memory - Sylvia Schrock Scott

Sylvia was a lifelong advocate for the needy and underserved.

A fundraising campaign for Vivent Health
Sylvia Claire Schrock Scott
August 21, 1935 - February 14, 2019

Sylvia Scott was a consummate and dynamic person who championed many causes throughout her life, and she always had the best interests of those who needed help in their lives and who were underserved. She was a champion of early childhood education in the 1960's and 70's through her Sunday column, "Little Things of Value" in the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. She was an advocate for the hearing impaired through her work with the Mississippi School for the Deaf working with the Mississippi Legislature to assure funding to support education for the hearing impaired. 

In 1995, her advocacy work turned to people who were HIV positive after her son Paul nearly died in 1994. She and her husband Bill started a statewide organization in Mississippi for parents of HIV positive children. Sylvia channeled her activism before the Mississippi Legislature where she successfully advocated for funding for HIV medications.

On behalf of the Scott family, we thank you for your gift in memory of her advocacy. Your gift will be a living memorial to her life work and belief to help those that were less fortunate or needed a hand up to be successful. Your gift will support ASA's Moody Medical Clinic to provide primary care and HIV care to persons affected by HIV in the Central Texas community.

Thank you for your loving contribution that will continue to bring life to so many that Sylvia would have loved to have helped herself.
