Reba Lea Scott Hornbuckle Van Allen, known as Scotty, was born on December 5th, 1926. She graduated to her heavenly home on April 27th, 2023, at the age of 96.
Scotty accepted Jesus Christ into her heart as a young teenager. Her relationship with Jesus was very important to her and was central to who she was. She was a member of Faith Assembly of God church in Forsyth where she loved to serve and be with her church family.
Shortly after graduating from Central High in Springfield, she married her high school sweetheart Daryl Hornbuckle. Together they raised two daughters, Darylene and Gale.
Later she met and married Doug Van Allen. Doug was in law enforcement and brought a whole new level of fun and excitement to her life. On several occasions Scotty was deputized so she could help Doug transport prisoners to and from jail. Doug and Scotty were both very generous and welcomed a few of these individuals into their home. One young lady that was expecting a baby stayed with them during her pregnancy until she delivered.
Affectionately known as "Granny", Scotty loved spending time with family, especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed attending gospel singings and made many lifelong friends.
She had an unusual talent of being able to write her name upside down and backwards in cursive with either hand. She played piano by ear and was a talented seamstress, making a blanket and pillow for each new baby joining the family.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Ben and Nancy Scott\; her husbands, Daryl Hornbuckle, and Doug Van Allen; brother, Norman Scott; sister, Wilma West; son-in-law, Sylva Howard; grandson, Scott Howard; great grand-daughter, Cara Arnold; and great-grandson, Tyler Arnold.
She is survived by daughters, Darylene Howard, and Gale Thomas and husband Danny. Two stepsons, Karl Van Allen and wife Kathy, and Kurt Van Allen and wife Heather. Seven grandchildren; nineteen great grandchildren; and twelve great-great grandchildren.
