Dorothy Bell Scott, Nov. 20, 1921 - March 1, 2015
A graveside service for Dorothy McAlpin Bell Scott, who spent much of her early years in East Hampton, will be held tomorrow at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton. The Rev. Denis C. Brunelle of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church will officiate, at 11 a.m.
Mrs. Scott died on March 1 at home in Wilmington, N.C. She was 93.
Summers in East Hampton for the young Dorothy McAlpin Bell were spent at Moor Alpin, as her maternal grandparents, George Lodowick McAlpin and Blanche Benjamin McAlpin, called their Lee Avenue cottage, and at the Maidstone Club and Devon Yacht Club. Her parents, the former Dorothy McAlpin and Alfred Dennis Bell, had a house on Apaquogue Road in East Hampton, an uncle George L. McAlpin Jr. had a house on Pudding Hill Lane there, and her grandparents maintained a working farm, Dune Alpin, nearby.
She delighted later in telling of how, as a young mother, she entered her 1-year-old son, Lee Crouch, in a Ladies Village Improvement Society Fair baby contest and won.
She was born on Nov. 20, 1921, at the Lying-In Hospital in New York City. She attended the Graham Eckes School and the Shipley School in Philadelphia, then the Pennsylvania Hospital Nursing School, where she met her first husband, Auley McRae Crouch Jr. They married in 1942 in New York City.
After her husband was sent to Europe during World War II as a battalion surgeon, she moved to Wilmington to live with his family. She raised four children there and was active in a number of civic organizations, including the board of the St. John’s Museum of Art. An early environmentalist, her family said, she established the clean water association and had roles in the Junior League Sea Scholars program and the Sierra Club. Dr. Crouch died in 1969. A brief marriage later ended in divorce.
She is survived by her children, Auley McRae Crouch III of Wilmington, George McAlpin Crouch Sr. of Columbia, S.C., Frederick Dennis Crouch of Wilmington, and Dorothy Crouch Benz of Raleigh, N.C., as well as seven grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and two step-grandchildren.
Her funeral was held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Wilmington on March 4.
