At the age of 60, Brenda Darlene Storey Scoggins of Summerville, GA, went

to be with her Lord and Savior on July 26, 2014, following a battle with cancer.  

She is survived by her husband, Steve Scoggins; her mother, Elizabeth Storey;

her children, Stacie Marshall and Patrick Scoggins; her sister, Sharon Oxford

with her husband, Rusty; her nephews and niece, Drew, Ashlee and Seth Oxford;

her son-in-law, Jeremy Marshall, and three grandchildren, Addison, Selah, and

Grace Marshall.

The oldest of two children, Darlene was born February 16, 1954, in Rome, GA.  

She was known for her crafting talents, her passion for having fun with family

and friends, and her deep commitment to her community.  Darlene, with her

husband Steve, were long time members and contributors to Chattooga Young

Farmers and Chattooga Farm Bureau.  Over the course of 32 years, Darlene

taught Family & Consumer Science to over one thousand students, caring not just

for their grades, but their very lives.  Throughout her time at Chattooga High School,

Darlene started a daycare for teenage mothers, oversaw everything from beauty

pageants to the FCCLA, participated in the Georgia Teacher’s Association, broke

up school fights, and served as unofficial school counselor.

Darlene was also an integral part of Armuchee Baptist Church for 37 years, playing

the piano, leading the choir, and participating in countless Bible studies and care

groups.  To her husband, Steve, Darlene was the perfect partner, camping

companion, and best friend.  To her sister, she was friend, confidant, and co-caregiver

to their mother.   To her children, she was a patient and caring mother, always

present with a hug, a wise word, or shoulder to cry on.  To her grandchildren, she

was a loving Mimi who never showed up without a treat and a craft from her “Mimi Bag.” 

To her many friends, she was a party planner, a craft guru, and the one that always

had exactly what you needed – somewhere in her car!
