Woodrow �Woody� Scruggs, 68, of Fernandina Beach passed away Tuesday, February 4, 2020 at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL surrounded by his family.
Woody was born in Spartanburg, SC and was the son of the late Oliver and Jenewee Hill Scruggs.
After graduating from Hanahan High School in Hanahan, SC in 1969 he attended Anderson College. He later served his country in the U. S. Army. After military service he began a civil service career at the Charleston, SC Naval Shipyard as part of the apprenticeship program in Shop # 56. He would leave Charleston some years later because of the base closure. He had advanced to General Foreman in Charleston and would continue his career at the Trident Refit Facility at Kings Bay, GA. Woody retired in 2006 having received numerous awards during his career.
In keeping with the tenor of his service in the Army and with the Navy civil service, Woody was especially proud of his membership in the of the Forty and Eight Veterans Honor Society.
Woody was a devoted husband, father and friend. He loved spending time with family and friends. His favorite time of the year was any holiday and he always enjoyed them immensely.
Woody leaves behind loving wife of 48 years, Rosemary Dyson Scruggs of Fernandina Beach, FL; his daughter and �the apple of his eye� Jennifer Scruggs Ceniza and her husband, Richard, also of Fernandina Beach; a sister in law, Dee Dyson Nettles and her husband, Harry, of Summerville, SC; nephew Jamie Nettles and a dear family friend, who was like a second daughter, Michelle Bentley of Harleyville, SC.

All you have to do, is look at the smiling picture of Woody and it tells you a lot about him. We met Woody several years ago, and the first thing that struck us was how friendly he was. His quick wit,, winning smile, and, love of a good joke is a memory we will always carry with us. That and his AWESOME bar-b-que sauce! We will think of him whenever we gather friends together to enjoy pulled pork right off the grill.
