Margie was born in Hope, Arkansas, on October 21, 1949. She graduated from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, and later moved to Little Rock, where she married Joe in 1972. After a stop in Kansas City, they moved to Tulsa in 1979 and lived in the same house in Jenks, Oklahoma, for 45 years. Margie faithfully served alongside Joe during his time as lead pastor of Redeemer Covenant Church.
Margie’s towering faith, kind and loving nature, wisdom, and caring smile will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her love for Jesus shone through everything she did and inspired everyone she spent time with. Her focus was always on him.
Margie was preceded in death by her son, Wade Wright Scruggs, and her parents, Grandison and Imogene Royston. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Joe Scruggs; her son, Todd Scruggs, and his wife, Beth; her granddaughter, Maggie Scruggs; her grandson, Andrew Scruggs; her brother, Grandison Royston; and her nephew, Guy Royston.
A celebration of life service was held on May 14, 2025, at Redeemer Covenant Church.
Peace be to her memory.
