Deaconess-Mother Lucille Scott Victoria's Obituary
Remembering the Life of Deaconess-Mother Lucille Scott Victoria
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my father’s house
are many mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also. John 14 1-3
On the afternoon of April 22, 2022, at approximately 4:35 p.m. God descended his angels from
heaven to come and carry the spirit of Lucille home. He saw that she was tired and had suffered
enough. It was time for her to take her rest.
Lucille Scott was born on January 10, 1939, to proud parents, Rufus Scott Sr. and Cornelia
Hall-Scott in Crowley, Louisiana. She was the third oldest of thirteen children. She accepted
Christ at an early age. She was baptized by the late Reverend George Trac at Providence
Baptist Church in Crowley, Louisiana.
Lucille completed her education at H.C. Ross High School in Crowley. In 1957, in her junior
year, she represented her high school as their queen. That title couldn’t be more befitting of
her. Lucy as she was affectionately called was a self-taught chef and one of the best cooks in
the area. She prided herself on preparing homecooked meals for her family.
On June 07, 1958, she married her sweetheart and love of her life Jason Victoria Sr. They
moved their growing family to Pacoima, California where they resided for several years. Later,
they relocated to Eunice, Louisiana to finish raising their nine children near family. Lucille
was employed with St. Landry Parish School Board as a bus driver. She was also a
businesswoman and entrepreneur. She owned and operated a café with her husband. They were
members of New Zion Baptist Church under the leadership of Dr. Joshua G. Frank Sr., for 35
years. There she served as a deaconess and sang in the adult mass choir.
After retiring, she and Jason relocated back to California to be near their children. Being the
exceptional mother that she was, she decided to become a foster parent to over 100 children
throughout her lifetime. Lucille spent her life helping those in need. While residing in
California, they became members of The Burning Bush Baptist Church under the leadership
of Bishop David Denson Jr. She was a faithful servant of 27 years and served as a deaconess
and church mother. She loved the Lord with all her heart and was dedicated to serving him.
She shared a special bond with her Pastor, First Lady, and their family; their bond was only
separated by blood.
In her golden years, she (Jason) relocated to Texas where she finished out her final earthly
stay. They became members of Bethlehem Baptist Church under the Pastorship of
Dr. Michael Evans, Sr. Lucille died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving husband
Jason of 63 years, along with her children, and grandchildren. Her loving memory will be
cherished by many.
Her parents and children: Shawn, Carlos, and Bryan preceded her in death. Lucille leaves to
cherish her memory her beloved husband Jason Victoria Sr; her six children Michael (Dawn)
Victoria of Mansfield, Texas, Andrea “Michelle” (Early) Andrews of Fort Worth, Texas, Jason
Jr. (Felicia) Victoria of Eunice, Louisiana, Ursula (David) Ceasar of Sunset, Louisiana, Craig
(Karen) Victoria of Arlington, Texas, and Katina (Alvin) Henry of Cypress, Texas, one
