Joseph Walter Scott, age 88 of Marion, passed away on Thursday, March 19, 2020 at Marion General Hospital. He was born on October 12, 1931 to the late John and Nora (Freeman) Scott in Ironton, Ohio.

Joseph proudly served his country in the Army during the Korean War. He later retired from the Whirlpool Corporation after 29 years. He was a member of the American Legion and the Moose, and he was also a long-time, dedicated member of the Enterprise Baptist Church in Marion.
