Ms. Scroggs was born on April 2, 1944 in Waco, TX to Joe and Nell Everett. At the age of 4, Wayne Bennett came into her life and he became her forever dad. In 1963, mom met the love of her life John and on June 6, 1964 they wed. Mom was a faithful military wife for over 20 years and enjoyed the many opportunities that this life provided to her. She was fortunate to be able to enjoy being stationed abroad and also numerous locations in the United States. She was an avid Dallas Cowboy and Texas Ranger fan. She loved shopping, playing cards, singing in the church choir, and crocheting. However, the job she cherished the most was that of being a mother and grandmother. She would attend soccer, volleyball, basketball, football, softball and even bowling events that were going on.
