- Joyce Louise Scrougham, 88, of Nashville died Tuesday, April 13, 2021 in Brown County Health and Living. She was born October 26, 1932 in Indianapolis to Guy Padgett and Lydia Drewlinger Padgett. She was a homemaker.
Survivors include her husband of 61 years, Earl D.

Joyce was the youngest of eight children and as the baby of the family was taken everywhere she needed to be and then after being married to Earl he continued to chauffeur her around so Joyce never took up driving, this also led her to be a homebody. She loved tending to her house and family, she enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles, quilting, doing cross stitch, and reading.
There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Bond-Mitchell Funeral Home.
