Mary Gail Scott passed away at her home in Randolph, N.H. on November 24, 2014 of pancreatic cancer. She was 80 years old. Her love of Randolph goes back nearly 70 years to 1945, when her parents purchased a summer cottage there. Randolph was a special place for her and her family. She was part of a generation that grew up spending summers hiking in the White Mountains. Randolph was where she wanted to live and where she wanted to be at the end of her life.

She was born in New Haven, Connecticut. Her father, Philip Gordon Scott, was a minister in the United Church of Christ. Her mother was Susan Sumner Scott (nee Storke). She was a graduate of Pembroke College (now Brown University), where she earned a BA in International Relations. She was certified to teach secondary school English, History and Social Studies in 1976. She married John R. Sleeman (d. 2003) in 1957. The marriage ended in divorce in 1995.
