Judy Briley Scruggs

Judy Briley Scruggs, 78 passed away peacefully at her home in Arlington, Texas surrounded by her loving family. A native Texan, she was born in Fort Worth, and raised in White Settlement where she graduated from Brewer High School in 1963. She held different secretarial jobs throughout her life but retired from Tarrant County where she worked at the courthouse for the District Attorney’s Office in the Mental Health Department. After retirement she started a catering company which was a dream come true as she was a passionate cook.

She was a faithful servant and believer of Jesus Christ. She was a proud member of Broadway Baptist Church where she attended and volunteered for many years. She amassed many friends throughout her life but nothing gave her more pleasure than welcoming new residents and having them join her weekly Rummikube gang at Town Village Crossing. She was described by the residents there as so friendly, welcoming and helpful. She took great pride in being that person.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Hamp Scruggs, her parents Delbert Briley and Elizabeth Knightstep, her brother Frank Briley, her sisters Beverly Briley and Barbara Williamson, and her precious dog Sophie.

She is survived by her children, Amy Rosenfeld and her husband Steven, Bethany McDowell and her husband Jase, and David Davis and his wife Missy all of Fort Worth. Her grandchildren Kelsey Walling of Hilo, Hawaii, Spencer Hunt of Fort Worth, Kendall Fountain and her husband Benjamin of Stillwater, OK and Adam Hunt of Fort Worth. Her brother Gene Briley and his wife Mindy and her nephew James of Annetta along with many beloved family members and lifelong cousins and friends.

Her family was her pride and joy and if you were talking to her it was guaranteed she was showing off pictures and bragging about her children and grandchildren to anyone who’d listen.

A memorial service will be held at the chapel at Broadway Baptist Church on August 26, 2023 at 11:00 am. Memories and condolences may be shared at www.neptunesociety.com.
