Jackson Township resident Traci Lynn Scott (nee Griffin), 33, died suddenly Monday, Nov. 30, 2009.

She was born April 9, 1976, and lived in Sugarland, Texas, until she was 17 when she moved to Chesterton. She graduated Chester-ton High School in 1994.

She is survived by her favorite person in the world, her son Gavin; her father, Mike Griffin, and step-mother, Debbie Griffin, of Westville; her mother, Debbie, and step-father, Butch Lange, of Sugarland; her brother, Scotty Lange of San Diego, Calif.; grandparents, Jo Ann and Don Harris of Dyer and Norma and John Corbett of Smithfield, N.C.; her ex-husband and good friend, Jason Scott of Chesterton; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and many beloved friends.

Traci loved spending time with Gavin and their dog Roxy and taking Gavin and his cousin, Conor Scott, to the water park in the summer. She enjoyed warm weather and loved to vacation in Key West, Jamaica, Arizona, California, and Tennessee, and was an avid slalom water skier and boater, especially on Lake Michigan. Most recently Traci had been working at Pinola Bar but was going to start a new job on Dec. 1 so she could work days and have more time with Gavin.

Funeral services, Pastor G. Thomas Jones officiating, are scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, at Edmonds & Evans Funeral Home, 517 Broadway in Chesterton. Visitation is scheduled from 4 p.m. until the time of service Thursday at Edmonds & Evans.

Memorials may be made to an education fund for Gavin at Chase Bank (College Choice/Gavin Scott).
