Nancy Scruggs passed away October 25, 2024 after battling a long illness for over 7 years. She was born and grew up in Michigan. She has lived in Florida the last 4 years. She worked for The Ford Motor Company for almost 40 years. She is the daughter of Carol Scruggs of Ocala, Florida and the late Howard Scruggs. She leaves behind one sister, Sherril of Ocala, Florida, two nieces Noel Mansfield and her husband Jimmy, and Lindsay, all from New Hampshire. She has three Great-Nephews, Torin, A.J., and Nikolas. Her favorite 4-legged companion was her dog Zoey, and she was sure she had a good home prior to her passing. Nancy loved spending her free-time with her many many friends and family. Lindsay and Noel were like her children, and they thought of her as someone they could always go to for love, guidance or just to talk. If you knew Nancy, you were blessed with the world's most precious, caring, loved and wonderful human being.
We will be having two memorial services, one in Ocala, FL and one in Saline, Michigan where she will rest with her father.
In lieu of flowers, please give a donation to The American Lung Association in c/o Nancy Scruggs or Humane Society of Marion County, Inc. at https://thehsmc.org.

Nancy was my first real girlfriend. We were in high school together. She was two years younger. It was a formative time of life. After I went away to college and had been gone for a year, we decided to see other people. It was her idea, not mine. It broke my heart, but I believed that it was what was best for her at the time. We never reconnected after that. I am happy for those who had a chance to get to know her. She made a big and sweet impact on my adolescent life.
