Louise Scott (March 11, 1933 - February 18, 2020)

Louise Scott

Louise Scott passed away peacefully, surrounded by loving family, on February 18, 2020, at her home in Graton, California. She is survived by her three daughters: Laura Farris, Angel Fiorito-Leddy, and Denise Meagher; her son David "Davene" Settino Scott; her seven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

Louise was highly admired for her wisdom, tenacity, courage, and passion for life. She was a world-traveler, visiting and living in places such as Greece, Australia, and Mexico. She swam for her life when the ship she was traveling on from Bali to Java sank in the ocean.

Louise was a prominent figure in 1960's hippie culture in southern California. As a seamstress in Los Angeles, she designed and created 'trip clothes' for celebrity actors and musicians. Later, during the late sixties and early seventies, she experimented with communal living in communes near the Yuba River in California, and near Taos, New Mexico. She was a founding member of the Mimbres Hot Springs Ranch, near Silver City, New Mexico.

Louise loved nature and rustic living. She would often live off-grid in remote and wild places with no electricity or running water. While living in Holy Ghost Canyon, part of the Pecos Wilderness, she was asked to deliver a child for the family that lived in Terrero. Though she had never delivered a child before, she got some books at the library and began her practice as a midwife. Between 1971 and 1980, she delivered scores of children at home for women living in rural New Mexico.

Louise made her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for many years. She homesteaded and started an organic farm on land she leased from the Nambe Pueblo. She loved to keep goats and always had a flourishing vegetable garden.

I will always cherish your memory, Mom. Thank you for being my mother and all the great times we had together.
