She married her lifelong love, James Kautz and they adopted a son, Mike.  They loved to travel and saw most of the USA travelling by automobile.  Jim had many business interests and they lived a full life.  Scotty was a member of the First Methodist Church, served as a docent at the Fulton Mansion when it first opened as a State Park Attraction.

Scotty was preceded in death by her faithful husband, her beloved son Mike, her parents, and her Forever Friend Nell.
