Janis was born Oct. 28, 1935, in Richmond and was the daughter of the late Thomas Brubeck and Evelyn GarlandAcors.
Janis was a 1953 graduate of Manchester High School. She enjoyed farming, gardening, and loved her grandchildren. She was a
member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Jerome. She served her church for many years until her health failed. She also instilled her
children and grandchildren with the duty to go vote for the best person for the job, as she also enjoyed checking in voters at
Conicville VFD. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, crocheting, and baking. Her children and grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed her
culinary skills throughout the years. Her apple pie was often hidden (and an extra one made too) so the kids wouldn’t make off with
it before the holiday meals.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Scruggs; a son, Michael Scruggs; and a grandson, Seth Scruggs.
She is survived by two sons, Kenny Scruggs and his wife, Anita, and Danny Scruggs and his wife, Amy; a daughter, Robin Scruggs;
six grandchildren, Jessie Zerkel, Joshua Scruggs, Andrew Scruggs, Malaki Scruggs, Dana Strickler, and Joseph Scruggs and five
great-grandchildren, Carson Scruggs, Keira Zerkel, Charlotte Scruggs, Liam Scruggs, and Michael Scruggs.
Arrangements are in the care of Dellinger Funeral Homes, Mount Jackson.
