Don Scot Farrens, 81, of Bella Vista, AR, passed away on April 28, 2023, at Circle of Life. He was born on April 4, 1942, to Shirley and Don Farrens, Sr., in Decatur, Nebraska.

After Scot graduated from high school, he married Sandra Petersen, and they moved to Omaha and had three children, Denise, Dana, and Diane.

He remarried Eleanor Desler, who had four children, Lori, Jeff, Bill, and Julie. Scot and Eleanor added an additional daughter to the family, Alice Renee.

Scot owned several businesses, including Scot's Friendly Bar and Al's Floor Care. He worked many years as a salesman and manager for Berkley Envelopes. He enjoyed golfing, camping, playing guitar, attending music jams, and was an avid Nebraska Cornhusker fan. After retirement, he spent many years in Texas and recently at Concordia Retirement of Bella Vista.

He was a friend to many and always had a way of making you smile. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed.
