Zelda Scott
October 16, 1946 - September 27, 2018

Zelda Scott, 71, of Clear Lake, passed away peacefully Thursday, September 27, 2018, surrounded by her family at Muse-Norris Hospice
Inpatient Unit in Mason City, after a year long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Zelda’s wishes will be honored by her family by not having a service and her body being cremated.

Zelda (Heginger) Scott, daughter of Carl and Etta (Harms) Heginger, was born October 16, 1946 in Klemme, IA, where she grew up and
attended school, graduating in 1964.

Zelda married Jerry Scott on June 14, 1969, and farmed east of Klemme until 1975, when they moved and farmed south of Clear Lake. After Jerry passed in 2012, Zelda remained on the farm.

Zelda was known for her love of gardening, canning, animals and flowers, but as she said, “most of all, my grandchildren.” Before her illness you could always count on getting some type of homemade treat when you went to visit, along with a cup of coffee or tea, if it was afternoon.

Zelda is survived by her sons, Terry (Rebecca Stadtlander) Scott of Meservey, Jason (Dana Payton) Scott of Burchinal; daughter, Tami (Chad) Cavett of Clear Lake; grandchildren, Ashley James of Mason City, Shelby Scott, Caleb Cavett, Caden Cavett and Destiny Scott all of Clear Lake; brothers, Carl (Darlene) Heginger of Mason City, Tony (Elizabeth) Heginger and Rick (Georgina) Heginger of Klemme; sisters, Sharon Reysack of Clear Lake and Edna (John) VanGerpen of Marion; sisters-in-law, Janice (George) Lansink of Cedar Falls, Sharon (Ray) Petersburg; a brother-in-law, Russel Scott of Mason City; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Etta Heginger; husband of 43 years, Jerry; brothers, Duane, Bill, LuVerne and Lyle; and a sister, Lois.
