WALTER SCROGGINS Obituary

Oct 29, 1924 - Nov 30, 2012 OKLAHOMA CITY God took our beloved daddy and granddaddy (Pappa Lee) home Friday, November 30, 2012. God saw our daddy struggling these last 100 days since he lost his wife, and our beloved mother. He was already dealing with congestive heart failure and dementia. Our Lord knew his pain and it was time to call daddy home. They raised us kids at First Pentecostal Holiness Church, and they taught us our values of knowing right and wrong. He was born October 29, 1924, to William Leroy Scroggins & Ethel Loveda Robertson. On June 1, 1946, he married Icaphene Lucille smith. He is survived by their children: Janice Messer Plano, TX; Anita Roden (Bob), Flowermound, TX; Brenda Ballard (Ed), Norman, OK; Rev. Lee Scroggins, Jr (Patty), MWC, OK; and Zachary Stephens, of the home. He had 13 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; one brother, Loyd Ervin; three sisters, Vena, Irene and Margaret; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years and our precious mother on August 27, 2012; his parents; two brothers, Junior and Jimmy; and two sisters, Wilma and May Gene. Daddy worked many jobs in his younger years. While working at W&W Steel, he took on a second job at Humpty Dumpty; he started out as a sacker and worked his way up to Store Manager. After many years with them, he retired, then ended up going to work for Wonder Bread until he was 78 years old. He was a 32nd degree Mason. We will miss our Dad & Mom forever. Services will be held on Wednesday, December 5, 2012, at 2 p.m. at Christian Life Fellowship Church, 1400 NW 12th, Moore, OK, Pastor John Walker officiating. Pallbearers will be his grandsons and great-grandsons, Ronnie, Darren, Ellis, Nathan, Zachary, Dylan, Devin and Brendan. Viewing on Monday and Tuesday at Advantage Funeral Home, 7720 S. Pennsylvania, OKC.
