Gerald Anthony Scott

Mr. Gerald Anthony Scott, 85, of Twin City passed away Sunday, May 3, 2026, at East Georgia Regional Medical Center.

He also enjoyed collecting antiques and raising all kinds of birds, from exotic tropical ones to his chickens.

He took great pride in his yard and flowers, always keeping them just right. More than anything, he enjoyed visiting with his neighbors and sharing what he had, whether it was fresh eggs, peaches, or grapes.
