Murray C. Scott

Murray C. Scott, a successful Thoroughbred horse trainer, horse van driver and all around horseman, passed away peacefully at the age of 80 on March 19th, 2024, at his residence in Bensalem, Pennsylvania.

Born on November 23, 1943, in Cooksville, Ontario, Canada, Murray was the son of the late Dorothy Rita (Skipkin) and Murray P. Scott.

Murray’s life was a tapestry woven with threads of kindness, resilience, and unwavering love for his wife, daughter, granddaughters and those people lucky enough to know him well. His warm smile and gentle spirit touched the hearts of all who knew him. As a devoted husband, he shared countless cherished moments with his beloved wife, Connie Youmans.

Beyond his equestrian pursuits, Murray had a penchant for life’s simple pleasures. He savored a glass of scotch and the refreshing chill of a cold beer or the filling of a warm one. Whether casting lines into tranquil waters or engaging in spirited shuffleboard matches or pool games, Murray found joy in every moment. His backyard became a sanctuary as he lovingly fed the birds and squirrels, delighting in their daily visits.

Murray is survived by his beloved wife, Connie Youmans, their daughter, Marie Scott, and his granddaughters, Melissa Chiarello and Laura Scheid. He is predeceased by his son, Michael C. Scott.

His memory will forever be etched in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in Murray’s honor be made to The PTHA GRANNY FUND, a scholarship fund for PARX backstretch children.

The address is PTHA, Inc., P.O. Box 300, Bensalem, PA.

Services for Murray will be held privately at the convenience of the family.

Services have been entrusted to the Hoffmann Meyers Givnish Funeral Home.
