Chante Scott

Chante Harris Scott was born on September 27, 1983, in Brookhaven, NY, to Hazel Harris. From the very beginning, her life was marked by love, strength, and purpose. Chante was educated in Richmond, Virginia, where she graduated from John F. Kennedy High School in June of 2003. In 2009, at the age of 26, she accepted Christ, a decision that became the anchor of her life and the foundation of her faith. Her walk with God sustained her through every season and shaped the woman so many came to love and admire. In 2006, Chante was united in holy matrimony with her devoted husband, Christopher Scott. Together, they built a beautiful life centered on faith and family as they raised four adorable children. Chante loved her family with every part of her being. Her husband and children were truly an extension of her heartbeat, and her greatest joy was nurturing and protecting the family God entrusted to her. Chante was loving, caring, and incredibly strong. She gave of herself freely and loved without hesitation. To know her was to feel cared for, prayed for, and genuinely seen. She will forever be remembered for her long conversations—the kind where she would talk and barely let you get a word in beyond “hello.” In those moments, she poured out her heart, wisdom, and her love. Though her voice may now be still, those conversations live on in our memories, echoing in the quiet spaces she has left behind. Her faith carried her through life and now carries her home. While our hearts ache in her absence, we find comfort in knowing she is at peace, wrapped in God’s eternal love. She will be missed beyond words, loved beyond measure, and remembered for as long as love lives. Chante was preceded in death by her brother, Shaheem King; her grandmother, Jean Brown; her aunt, Shirley Brown; two cousins; and her father-in-law, Alvin Scott. She leaves to cherish her precious memories: her loving and devoted husband, Christopher Scott; 4 children, Chantevia, Dashawn, Tyquan and Damien; 5 grandchildren, Dashawn Harris, Jr., Reygen Harris, Royal Harris, Lani and Tutu; her beloved mother, Hazel (Kenneth); 4 sisters, Latoya, Lateifah (Dario), and Shateifah (Tim); 5 brothers, Alonzo, Dwayne (Queen), Quincy, and Jahiem; mother-in-law, Joyce Scott; grandmother-in-law, Josephine Scott; sister-in-law, Melaine; brother-in-law, Alvin; 3 uncles, Mark Brown (Valenca), Lee Jackson, and Jacqan; 2 aunts, Margaret Lovett (Omar) and Regina Brown; 12 nieces, 11 nephews; and a host of cousins, other relatives and friends.
