Hannah Joy Schott of Blaine, Minn., an avid bowler and a devoted NASCAR fan, died yesterday when a meteorite destroyed her house. She was 17.
Schott was a 4-H member for seven years and volunteered at 4-H events. She participated in and co-directed two Share the Fun plays, "All's Faire" and "Hubbub on the Bookshelf."
Schott was born March 2, 1992, to Tarry and Linda Schott, and lived in Lexington, Minn., until she was 12 years old. Schott was home schooled through grade school and was currently attending Anoka-Ramsey Community College in Coon Rapids.
Schott was a member of two 4-H clubs, the Dandy Linos and the High Adventurers, and held the offices of secretary, reporter, vice-president and president. In 2008, Schott received the Share the Fun Outstanding Performer award and was the champion in the Interpretive Reading division of the Communications Contest.
Schott was a member of Brunswick's Tuesday home school bowling league and won the girls' High Game Scratch award last spring with an average of 157.
NASCAR was Schott's weekend passion, and she loved her favorite driver, Kevin Harvick. "She was a dedicated Harvick fan even when he wasn't winning," Schott's brother, Daniel, said.
Schott is survived by her parents, Tarry and Linda Schott, and her brother, Daniel Schott.
Her memorial service will be held at Blaine Baptist Church at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. She will be buried in Down Under Cemetery.
