Avis “Ann” Rasberry Scott, 78, passed away on Monday, October 13, 2025, at Choctaw Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Ackerman, Mississippi, surrounded by her loving daughters. Graveside services and interment were held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, October 15 at Louisville Memorial Cemetery with Reverend Phil Fancher officiating.

Ann was born November 22, 1946, in Winston County, Mississippi, to Vernon Rasberry, Jr. and Willie Avis Herod Rasberry. She was a devoted member of Liberty Baptist Church in Flowood, Mississippi, where she attended the Senior Sunday School class. Ann was an avid reader and had a passion for writing stories; at one time, she hoped to publish some of her work. Her career allowed her to travel extensively giving her an opportunity to see the world. Above all, Ann dearly loved her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and she cherished spending time with them.
Ann is survived by her daughters, Carmen Annice Hill of Sturgis, Mississippi, and Mary Emily (Robert) Harrison of Crosby, Texas. One of her greatest joys was being “MawMaw Ann” to her three grandchildren: Nikki (Michael) Davis, John Michael (Emily) Hill, and James Garrett Harrison; as well as her four great-grandchildren: Phillip Davis, Benjamin Davis, Frances “Frankie” Hill, and Stella Hill. Ann was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Billy Rasberry; her great-granddaughter, Sara Nicole Davis; and her son-in-law, Scott Hill.
Serving as pallbearers were John Michael Hill, Garrett Harrison, Michael Davis, and Robert Harrison. The family requests that memorials in honor of Ann be given to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital online at stjude.org.
Services are under the direction of Massey Funeral Home, 724 North Columbus Avenue, Louisville, MS. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family by signing the guest register at www.masseyfuneralhome.net.
