Nora Scott
(née Boyle)

Mrs Scott was full of life and colour, she was a truly inspirational teacher. Some of my favourite memories were of the beautiful art room overlooking the courtyard in Sancta Maria and Mrs Scott would float between us giving encouragement and pushing us to create our best work. She gave me the courage to enter the Texaco art competition….. I even won a commendation! Sincere sympathies to her family,
Rest in Peace beautiful lady

Sincere condolences to all of the Scott family on the loss of Nora.
I got to know her when she came to our school for a number of years after she'd retired, to judge the annual art competition. She was so nice & encouraging in praising all of the pupils' work & treated the occasion with as much importance as if it were the Oscars - well it was to us...
When I met her briefly in the theatre foyer in London at the opening night of Vanya, she was her usual friendly & gracious self. How lovely that she was able to be there & what a wonderful memory for all of you.
I always looked forward to her letters in The Irish Times - short & to the point, an art in itself!
You must all miss her terribly but a lifetime of great memories will be some consolation in the days ahead.
May Nora rest in peace.

So sorry, Sarah, to learn of your Mum's passing. Condolences to you and your family. Mary

Sending deepest sympathy to the Scott family on the loss of a truly special lady. Nora was so kind to my sister and to me - total strangers - when asked a favour which she could so easily have ignored. Instead we had a lively and delightful correspondence with her which clearly showed how engaged she was with all matters artistic and how proud she was of her wonderful family. We can only imagine how much she will be missed. Rest in peace lovely Nora.

Dear Jim and family
Just heard today of Nora’s passing
We will all miss here as she always brought the sunshine when she visited
She helped me pick a photograph of beautiful Mayo for our waiting room and it will always remind me of her
May she rest in peace

Dear Hannah and family, please accept my deepest sympathy on the recent sad loss of your precious Mum. I have very fond memories from the Muckross Park days. May all your wonderful memories sustain you and carry you through the days ahead.

So sorry to hear of Nora’s passing. I have such wonderful memories of Nora and her kindness to me when I arrived from Gealtacht Chonamara to begin my first teaching job in Santa Maria in 1975. She was so kind, supportive and helpful.

Sending condolences to Sarah and the Scott family on the passing of your mum Nora. Rest in Peace.

I'm so sorry to hear of "Mrs. Scott's" passing. Her classes were wonderful; relaxed and ambiguous. So much so, I have fond memories of her gently reprimanding me for whistling as I painted! She got me into NCAD, much to her own surprise as mine. She was a special lady, sincere condolences for your loss.

The world became less colourful on the day she passed. What a gracious and beautiful soul Mrs Scott was. May she rest peacefully.

Dear Jim, Sorry to hear of Nora's death and on behalf of Pamela and myself we would like to offer you & all your family our deepest sympathy

We have fond memories of my mother's cousin Nora, often based on chance meetings like walking on the Bull Wall), and we were shocked to hear of her death. She was such a lovely, warm and friendly person. We are away from Ireland this month so we were unable to join you in person at her funeral, but we honoured her memory from Spain and we send our deepest sympathy at this very sad time, to Jim and Andrew and to the Andrews and McAleer relations who knew and loved Nora.

Jim,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the death of your dear wife Nora. It must be heartbreaking for you all. May she rest peacefully.

Dearest Andrew and family, thinking of you all during this terribly sad time. Nóra was such a wonderful lady may she rest in peace. My love and condolences. Ciara xx.

Though it's many years since I spoke to Nora, I have many happy memories of her. Nora was the best friend of my late wife, Ita Boyle, from Strabane when they both studied Art in St. Mary's, Belfast. In fact, it was Nora who introduced me to Ita, ample reason to remember her with great fondness and appreciate the great loss the Scott family must feel, on her sad death.
May she rest in peace.

My sincerest sympathy Jim and family and to Gertrude, Molly and Andrew

I was so sorry to hear that Mrs Scott had passed away. She was a wonderful art teacher who cared so much for her pupil's. We were so lucky to have benefited from her enthusiasm, humour, encouragement, and guidance which lead to many of us going onto art college and creative careers. We owe her so much and will remember her always with great affection. May she rest in peace.
