She was born November 18, 1975 in Waynesboro, a daughter of the late Tommy and Linda (Conner) Scott.

After graduating in 1993 from Wilson Memorial High School, she pursued a career helping others that were less fortunate as a very caring LPN. As a co-owner of a residential facility for the mentally challenged, she selflessly demonstrated her care and devotion to those in need.

Briget loved making memories with her family and friends, and touched the hearts of everyone she met.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Curtis and Ruth Conner; paternal grandparents, Roy and Ruth Scott.

Surviving are her loving husband of 27 years, Dennis Hayes of Waynesboro; 2 sons, Dylan Hayes and his wife Israel of Staunton, and Jacob Hayes of Waynesboro; grandson, Arthur Hayes; 2 brothers, Travis Scott and Tyler Scott; several nieces and nephews; and her beloved dog "Precious".

The family will receive friends from 12:00 PM until service time of 1:00 PM Friday, January 20 ^th at McDow Funeral Home. Gary Major will officiate and interment will follow in Augusta Memorial Park. Pallbearers will be Tyler Scott, Jason Gaylor, Kevin Greene, Tony Conner, Matthew Smiley, Dylan Hayes, and Travis Scott.

In keeping with Briget's loving spirit, it is kindly asked that in lieu of flowers that memorial contributions be made in her name to the Autism Research Institute, 491 Hillsdale Drive, Charlottesville, VA 22901.
