Vera Jean Scruggs (née Stephens), aged 92, passed away on August 13, 2024, in West Palm Beach, Florida. Born on September 23, 1931, in Anderson Township, Mills County, Iowa, Vera was a vibrant spirit loved for her humor and passion for sports. Throughout her life, she cherished the memories of growing up on her family’s farm and maintained a deep pride in her roots.
Vera's love for sports began in her high school years and remained a constant throughout her life, often watching tennis, basketball, and football whenever she could. Her dedication to her home and garden reflected her meticulous nature and pride in her surroundings. Living in Clewiston, she formed lasting bonds with her neighbors and community.
She leaves behind her loving sons, Robert Donald Scruggs, Jr. (Barbara) and Gregory Alan Scruggs (Terri); grandchildren, Ami Elizabeth Seener (Tim), Robert Donald Scruggs, III (Natalie), Sydney Elizabeth Scruggs (Brian Stein), Quentin Marshall Scruggs; and great-grandchildren, Colton Robert and Parker Warren Scruggs. Vera was preceded in death by her parents, Perry and Arizona Stephens; siblings, Lloyd, Maxine, Rosalie, and Joann; and her beloved husband, Robert Donald Scruggs.
A service to celebrate Vera and Don’s lives will be held at Akin-Davis Funeral Home in Clewiston, FL with visitation at 10am and services at 11am on August 24, 2024. The family will also celebrate the life of her late husband, Don, during this service as his passing was during the pandemic and felt a gathering at that time would endanger others. Contributions in Vera's memory can be made to Trustbridge Hospice, honoring her compassionate spirit. Akin-Davis Funeral Home in Clewiston was entrusted with the care of Vera.
