 Juliann was born on August 16, 1943 in Homer, Nebraska to Ralph G. and Amelia (Gagna) Beargeon, Sr.  She was raised on a farm outside Walthill, Nebraska before the family moved to Emerson, Nebraska and finally to Sioux City.  She attended a country school outside Walthill, Sacred Heart School in Emerson, and finished her education at Heelan High School in Sioux City, graduating with the Class of 1961.

Juliann worked at Aalf’s Manufacturing after high school, when she met the love-of-her-life, Richard H. Scott.  They married on July 3, 1965 at St. Francis of Assisi’s Catholic Church in Sioux City.  Juliann also worked at National Foods and St. Luke’s Hospital before taking on her greatest job, raising her two boys as a homemaker.  She retired in 2005, after 15 years, at Walmart.

Juliann enjoyed needlework, including cross-stitch, with which she made wonderful pictures. She made baby quilts, spent time solving crossword puzzles, and thoroughly enjoyed traveling with her family on trips to Colorado, the Black Hills of South Dakota, and numerous cruises with Richard.  Juliann especially enjoyed times spent with family and friends.  She was a member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.
