Scarlett took her heavenly flight home to be with the Lord Friday, July 31, 2020, at her residence surrounded by her family.
Born in Gainesville, May 13, 2016, Scarlett was the daughter of Preston and Katie Johnson LaCount. Scarlett was preceded in death by a sister in infancy; great-grandfathers, Bennie Wilson and Cleo Atkins; and great-great-grandfather, Charles Cantrell.
Scarlett, while on this earth for a short time, touched the lives of so many during her journey by the example of faith and courage she displayed. She loved to watch Paw Patrol and her favorite movie was Frozen. Scarlett loved the ocean and loved to paint; she liked to play on the church playground, and she was always wanting to make sure that everyone else was ok. Her favorite meals were cheese pizza from Chicagos, and chicken, rice and cheese from El Patron and Los Cerritos.
