Neva Miriam Scruggs Ennis, our dear “Cousin Scrubbie,” passed away on the evening of 7 May 2011 at her residence at the Fidelia Eckerd Living Center in Highlands, NC. Daughter-in-law Dorothy (“Dottie”) Bassett Ennis sent this message:

A sad note on this beautiful mothers day. Scrubbie died peacefully last night with nurses holding her hands. Gary and I were so blessed to have her with us for so long, and now at 103 1/2, she is spending mothers day with her mother. We will miss her, but we are also so happy that she is at rest.

We are on our way to NC to make arrangements for her, probably a small memorial service here in Tampa.love to you all,

Dottie and Gary

“Psychologists are heavily reliant on self-reporting to diagnose a patient's level of anxiety. This is a big problem. Although self-reporting is important, patients can distort, exaggerate or minimize their condition. And there is no way to tell if they are doing this. The ACCE task can also be used to track the effectiveness of therapies."

Mother had an "event" around Labor Day which put her in the hospital for about three days. The doctor on duty told me that she had a 'heart attack'. In any case she is back in Fidelia Eckerd Living Center and doing fairly well but certainly not as well as before.

She has both good and not so good days and she is still clear about most things but her time here seems to me to be ebbing away. And she is not in any pain for which I'm thankful.

Jeanne Suzanne and Tom Yancey came up to visit last week and Mother very much enjoyed their time together.

Yesterday [21 August 2009], our daughter Sarah, 21, married Olivier Pecquenard, her sweet beau of two and half years.  They were wed in the mayor's office of a small town in France not far from the Swiss border.  Olivier, 24, is an accomplished chef currently working at Chateauvieux, a Relais Chateau outside Geneva.  Sarah returns on the 26th to start her junior year and Olivier will join her in January and will probably work at La Folie,  Fleur de Lys or a similar French restaurant.  They met when she was an intern and he a chef at Taillevent during her gap year in 2007.

They will start radiation for the lung cancer on Monday (6th) and will have at least 20 days of it before they will do another evaluation.  We will keep you posted.  We did go to Iowa earlier for the Memorial Day weekend as Win could make it then.

It was a beautiful birthday celebration for a beautiful lady - so very fitting. And it was such a grand occasion that it took more than one day to celebrate it! Neva Miriam Scruggs Ennis, our Cousin "Scrubbie", was born 14 August 1907, in Gainesville, Florida to Brick Pomeroy and Sarah Fay Carmichael Scruggs.

Cousin Scrubbie's mother, Sarah Fay Carmichael, was born in Newnan, GA on 14 December 1882, to William Spencer and Manora Alzada Summers Carmichael. Sarah Fay had an older sister in the house when she was born. Her "big" sister was approximately one year old at the time. Her name was Neva Kate Carmichael - our own Grandmother Johnson who would be the future wife of Seth Johnson....See more photos.
