Early on Monday, December 14, 2020, Marie Scales Webster made her final 911 call, just after celebrating her 82nd birthday on December 12, 1938. She was the daughter of the late Nellie and Dennis Scales of Madison, NC. At an early age, Marie joined the Goodwill Baptist Church, where she served in the Choir, Usher Board, and Nursing Ministries until her health declined. She worked for Burlington and Unifi Textile industries for more than 40 years. Later, she worked as a private care giver for 15 years, and for the Winston-Salem Urban League Senior Services program for the past two years. Marie was best known for her classy dress and style, with her “red lipstick” and infectious smile, and love of people and life. She loved beautiful flowers, and often told her children to be sure to order from the Madison Flower Shop, from which she shopped many years.

On Christmas Eve, in 1953, Marie married John R. Webster, and to this union, five children were born. She was preceded in death by her oldest son, John (Botchie) Webster; great-grandson, Dequan Welch; two sisters, Peggy Brim and Maydell Oliver, and three brothers, Junior Scales, Leroy Scales, and Walter Oliver.
