Mathilda E. Scott

Mathilda E. Scott, 92, of Moosic, formerly Mountaintop, died on Tuesday at Hospice of the Sacred Heart, Dunmore. She was the widow of George A. Scott.

Born in Dupont, she was the daughter of the late George and Frances Tylutke Stadnick and was a graduate of Dupont High School and Wyoming Seminary Dean School of Business, Kingston. She was a 57-year member of the Westmoreland Club, where she was active on the social committee. She was also member of the Wyoming Valley Country Club Women’s Golf Association.

Matty truly loved life and the people she shared it with. One of her favorite pastimes was the bridge games she shared for over 40 years with her bridge group and the lunches every Monday and Friday she enjoyed with her sister and long time lady friend, Helen at Agolino’s Restaurant. If she wasn’t spending time with her sister and her family, she was on the golf course, ski slopes or enjoying dinner with her husband and their dinner group.  She loved to travel, enjoying ski trips to Switzerland and a visit to her homeland, Poland with her mother.  Her and George took many trips cross-country and to Florida visiting friends along the way.
