Patricia Theresa Watson Scoggins was born July 23, 1921 in Winnipeg Manitoba, 
Canada and died June 16, 2009 at Cornerstone Hospital in West Monroe, LA

Pat graduated with honors from Saint Mary's Academy in Winnipeg Manitoba, 
Canada. She moved to Washington D.C. and began working for the British 
Ministry of Supply.

Pat was an avid ice skater; it was on the ice rink that she would meet her 
future husband. She assisted a Navy serviceman, Aubrey Scoggins with his ice 
skating skills; a courtship followed, and they married during the war in 
Washington D.C. They lived in Bastrop, LA where their three children were born.

She was hired by the City of Bastrop for a temporary position to help out 
during a tax season. Through her dedication and hard work ethic her temporary 
position would continue for nearly twenty seven years of service, retiring as 
the Assistant City Clerk for the City of Bastrop. She was secretary of the 
Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service.

Mother loved all her children's friends, whether her children were home or 
not, her front yard was the perfect baseball diamond of which was used 
regular; she always had fresh baked "goodies" for all to enjoy after the 
baseball games. She also made beautiful decorated cakes for all occasions.

She took the required training to become an American citizen, passed the test 
and became an American citizen in Shreveport, LA on February 7, 1968, of which 
she was always proud of her citizenship.

She lived independently in her home in Bastrop, until the flood of 1991. At 
that time she relocated to West Monroe, to be close to her daughter and son-in-
law, Theresa and Jerry Culp. When her health would no longer allow her to live 
alone she moved to Landmark Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in West Monroe.

Her adopted parents, David and Mary Watson and sister, Florence Fernie of 
Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada and Louis Aubrey Scoggins, the father of her 
children preceded her in death.

Pat is survived by her daughter, Theresa Scoggins Culp and husband Jerry of 
West Monroe, LA, her son-in-law was a wonderful caretaker; he took care of her 
like a son. She is survived by two sons, David Lewis Scoggins and wife Frances 
of Arlington, Texas and Donald Wayne Scoggins and wife Sue of Cartersville, 
GA; grandchildren, Sarah L. Scoggins and Matthew D. Scoggins of Arlington, TX 
and Christopher N. Scoggins and Jonathan W. Scoggins of Cartersville, GA; 
sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be family, David L. Scoggins, Donald W. Scoggins, Jerry M. 
Culp, Christopher N. Scoggins, Matthew D. Scoggins, and Jonathan W. Scoggins.

Honorary pallbearer will be Mr. O. D. Westbrook.

The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of Landmark 
Nursing Center in West Monroe for the care and kindness to our Mother. A
