Nannie Sue Taylor Scroggs, lovingly known as Suzy Q, Mom, Grandma, or Aunt Nan passed away Monday, November 2, 2020 in hospice care. She was 82. She was born in Asheville, NC on February 15, 1938.

She is laughing and telling stories in heaven with her Mom and Dad (Evon Sanders and Weaver G. Taylor), sister (Sybil Jo Taylor Rice), her Uncle Cecil Sanders and her other wonderful relatives and friends.

She is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Sam, children Jody (Jerry) McIntyre and Jeff Scroggs; her brother, Rex Taylor; her grandchildren (Jordan (Aaron) Howard, Julian McIntyre, Colby Scroggs, Nic Scroggs, and Chase Scroggs) along with several nieces, nephews and great grandchildren.

She graduated from Lee H. Edwards High School in 1955 and retired from T.C. Roberson High School (Library) in 1992.

She met her future husband, Sam, during a baseball game in 1954 and captured his heart when she out hit him in the game. He proposed in May 1955, they eloped and were married in January 1956.

Nannie Sue was smart, sassy, athletic, a superb cook, an exceptional baker and a very savvy shopper. She loved her family and friends beyond words and devoted herself to those she loved. She made everyone that entered her home feel warmly welcomed and loved to cook their favorite dish anytime they visited.

She always dressed with elegance and a special flare.

Her gift of making each of us feel special and loved beyond measure will be treasured in our hearts forever.

She had a special connection with all animals. They loved her and you could see the special bond between them.

Private graveside service at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Saturday, November 14, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. A future date will be announced for her Celebration of Life for all family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Star Ranch Rescue in Haywood County, NC.

  1. Many wonderful memories of spending time on Wentworth! She made the best tomato sandwiches (with Fritos!) Took Jody, Jeff, and I to Royal Pines pool…..always had a picnic lunch! I remember she made Jody a smocked dress that was so cute! She’d make hot chocolate after we came in from sledding down the hill! Good times! Good times! I am blessed to have had her in my life growing up! My prayers are with you all. She will live on in your hearts and memories!❣️❣️

  7. My sincere thoughts and prayers for the family. I feel as if I have known Nannie Sue forever. I met Rex in 1971 and had the privilege to meet some of his family. They have always been very special to me. It saddens my heart to hear of her passing.

  8. Dear Sammy, Jodie and Jeff
    What sweet sweet memories I have of Nannie Sue. She made days at Roberson special for many of us, always baking treats for birthdays and some days treats just because. For me it was Rum cake …and cards for every birthday since the long passed Roberson days. So efficient and dependable in her role, students and teachers loved her. I treasure those memories. Rest dear friend. The disease you have battled so long is no longer with you.

  10. To paraphrase James Joyce: “She lived, she laughed, she loved, she left, and now the world will never be the same.” Nannie Sue was a loyal friend over many years, and I enjoyed working with her at Roberson. She was a kind, generous, and thoughtful person, a forever friend. She was devoted to family, and her voice was joyful as she told of their lives. I am grateful that she was in my life.

  12. My Sister, what love, joy and happiness she brought into all of our lives. I will always cherish the times that we were together, the laughs, the stories and even the sadness that we shared at times, she was always there when I needed to hear her voice. Now that she has left this earthly plane she will be missed but will always be with us in our hearts. That’s where she belongs.
