On November 12, 2024, the world lost a bright light with the passing of Raynel “RayRay” Scott of Youngstown, Ohio at the young age of 42. She was born on December 5, 1981 to Zakerice E. Scott and Maria Flores. Raynel lived a life full of passion, drive, and determination.

She was a proud graduate of Chaney High School where she excelled academically and socially. After graduating in 1999, she pursued a career in modeling and in the aviation industry. With her exceptional work ethic and dedication, Raynel made a lasting impact on all those she encountered.

Despite the many test and trials in her life, she remained resilient in her love for God, faith, and unwavering pursuit of happiness. Her positivity and concern for helping others overpowered her physical pain. She never lost her sense of humor, her infectious smile, her quit wit, her love for being with family, or her love for adventure.
