Eva Novella (Bradford) Scott, age 91, passed away peacefully on April 26, 2026. She was born on May 20, 1934, to Freddie E. and Cleo (Maples) Bradford.

Eva was one of eight children and grew up surrounded by a large and loving family. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Walter Earl Bradford; her sisters, Blanche Harris, Velta Waldrop, Freda June Huff, and Juanita Barker.

On August 20, 1955, Eva married the love of her life, Jackie R. Scott, at Pomona Church of God. Together, they devoted their lives to faith and service, becoming missionaries in 1956. Their calling led them to serve in Honduras and Costa Rica, where they faithfully ministered and touched countless lives. To this union, one son was born, Timothy R. Scott. She has two greatly loved grandchildren, Jessyca R Scott and Benjamin Bradford Scott.

Eva was a devoted wife, mother, and servant of God. She had a true servant’s heart and found great joy in cooking and caring for those around her. She was a Secretary for Pathway Christian School and bookkeeper for IBC.

She is survived by her son, Timothy R. Scott; her grandchildren, Jessyca (Mat) Scott and Benjamin Scott; her sister, Faye Martin; and her brother, Ted Bradford.

Her life was a testament to faith, compassion, and dedication to others. She will be remembered for her unwavering commitment to her family, her mission work, and her deep love for the Lord. Her legacy of service and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
