The Salva's were blessed to know Earlene.....we laughed together, created together, and ate her food! Lord have mercy, my friend could cook! Earlene will be missed.....and when I get to heaven, I'm going to find her and ask her for one more piece of her carrot cake!

My sincere condolences to the Clemmons and Scruggs Family. Mother Earlene was always such a sweetheart to me and enjoyed the fact that I lived on Litton Avenue and went to high school with her oldest son, Zachary. She was also very loving to my Father, Pastor Stanley E. Southall, at the Rutland Baptist Church. Earlene baked him a cake every year for 35 years during Special Pastoral Anniversaries and Birthdays. Her thoughtfulness and genuineness will never be forgotten. Rest Well Mother Scruggs.
