Lena Mae Scruggs

Lena Mae Scruggs, 83, passed away December 30th, 2019.

Though she left us with broken hearts, we take comfort in knowing she is no longer suffering, and she has been reunited with her wonderful husband, who she’s missed for a very long 13 years.

Lena was a sweet, funny, loving, beautiful soul who was a joy to be around. She loved her family and friends with all her heart and was loved by everyone who met her. Lena loved her vacations in Kentucky, Florida, Vegas, Hawaii, and Grand Cayman, but her favorite thing in life was spending time with her loved ones. She will be missed, always.

Lena was born in Gays Creek, Kentucky February 5th, 1936 to the late Paul and Orpha Riley. She and Hollis Scruggs were married in Indianapolis on May 9th, 1953, and they were happily married 53 years until his death on November 4th, 2006. Lena worked several years for the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township.
