Carroll Scarboro, Jr.

Carroll was born on July 10, 1937 in Hoke County, NC to the late Lacy and Lois Scarboro.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his brother, Kenneth Scarboro.

He was a member of New Hope Baptist Church in Laurinburg. He enjoyed fishing, gardening, and tinkering in his shop. One of his biggest passions was aviation. Carroll had a real love for, and tremendous knowledge about aviation in all forms. He got his private pilot’s license and loved to fly for any reason, and that later led to a profession for him.  

Carroll was a man of many endeavors. After high school, he served his country in the Army National Guard. Between the Guard and Reserves, he served for five years. He then worked at Burlington mills for a period of time, and worked HVAC and other various jobs in Scotland County. He owned a Western Auto Store and Sears Catalog Store in Hoke County for several years. The job he held the longest was spraying crops for farmers in Scotland County.

Carroll is survived by his wife of 65 years, Joan McLeod Scarboro; children, Debra Scarboro Fox (Randall) and Brian Douglas Scarboro (Andrea); grandchildren, Clint, Spencer, Alexander, and Emily; great grandchildren, Joshua, Sarah, and Logan; and one sister, Betty Skipper.

A graveside service will be held at 5 pm in the Raeford City Cemetery on Friday, May 10, 2024 with Pastor Michael Malpass officiating.
