Scotti Louise Hooper

Scotti Louise Hooper, 80, of Marietta, Georgia, passed away on June 22, 2026, born September 15, 1945, in Moultrie, Georgia to Lamar Clay Sr. and Mattie Sue Hooper. Scotti’s life was shaped early by South Georgia roots, steady purpose, and a spirit that met each season with both clarity and grace.

Growing up in South Georgia as the second oldest of four children, Scotti attended Seventh Day Adventist School in South Georgia and later Southern Adventist College in Collegedale, TN. Those formative years helped cultivate thoughtful steadiness and practical wisdom that remained evident throughout her life.

Scotti built a hard-working career in the Graphic Arts industry, serving as a competitive subcontractor drafting for the military, creating equipment layouts that supported complex systems, including the F-14 weapon system and ship-related work. Later in life, Scotti was self-employed as a Brand Management Consultant for credit unions in Huntsville, AL.

Music and service were enduring threads in Scotti’s life. She sang with the Decatur Civic Chorus for 20 years and traveled over Europe to raise funds to restore an adventurous undertaking that joined her love of music with a deeper sense of purpose. She also sang with Kennesaw State University and Alumni Choir for several seasons, continuing to share her voice and her presence in the community.

Scotti’s care extended into the everyday joys that make a life full: raising miniature schnauzers, cruising and traveling, and volunteering at Delmar Gardens in Smyrna every Saturday for seven years—supporting bingo, birthdays, social gatherings, and sing-alongs. In these steady acts of giving, her thoughtfulness showed itself not in grand gestures, but in faithful attention to others.

Those who knew Scotti will remember how she could find humor in every situation, sharp-witted and warmly perceptive, offering light without diminishing what was hard. She also carried a determined resilience—refusing to let life’s events slow her down, choosing again and again to get back up as quickly as possible and continue forward.

Scotti was preceded in death by brother, Gilbert Franklin (Frank) Hooper; sister, Ila Sue Dutton; and niece, Heather Mendez. She is survived by her wife of 41 years, Denise Eugenia Stevens; dear friends, Nan(Nancy) Jester and Kay Cavanaugh; brother, Lamar Clay Hooper, Jr.; aunt, Ann House(Bill); sister-in-law, Dorothy Warren; niece, Haley Driver (Josh); and nephew, Ken(Joy) Hooper; and her pet Shaggy Hooper.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the near future. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to be made to Wellstar Hospice at Kennesaw Mountain.
