William Owen Scott, 79, died on March 21, 2017 in Hendricks County.

William (Bill) was born Jan. 12, 1938 in Windfall, Ind., to Owen and Garnet (Ricks) Scott.

In the early 1950s the family moved from Tipton County to Wabash County where he graduated from Lagro High School in 1956.

In September 1960, he married Sharon Jester of Lagro, who preceded him in death.

Bill had one sister, Helen (Scott) Kirkpatrick, Hebron, Ind., who passed away in 2010.

Bill worked in agriculture all his life and became a cattle herdsman, where he worked for purebred cattle operations in California, Arkansas, Louisiana and Indiana.

He is survived by two sons, W. Fred, Indianapolis, and Ronald (Cassie) of St. Charles, Mo. He was especially proud of his four grandchildren, Michael, Claire, Jack and Maggie.

Bill donated his body to the Indiana University School of Medicine to support Medical Research and Education. As a consequence, a private memorial and interment will be held at later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to your favorite charity or the Indiana University School of Medicine.
