Woodie Carole Scarbrough Roush passed from the arms of her family to the arms of Jesus on the morning of Tuesday, June 23, 2020 fulfilling her wishes to be at her home in Maryville.  She was born February 19, 1945 to Carson Woodrow Scarbrough and Stella Mae Morgan Scarbrough.  They had thought they might be having a boy and were ready to name him.  However, when they had a girl, they still named her after her daddy, which made her laugh, but she was very proud of that!

She was preceded in death by her parents, Carson Woodrow Scarbrough and Stella Mae Morgan Scarbrough; and her mother-in-law, Ruth Wilma Lance Roush.

She is survived by her husband, Daniel Roush; two daughters, Jane (Phil) Allard and Esther (Derek) Miller; grandchildren, Austin, Alyssa, and Aric Miller, and Daniel and Thomas Allard; siblings, Martha (Edgar) Bryan and Carson (Linda) Scarbrough; sisters-in-law, Patty (Fred) Kay and Kay (Steve) Wilhelm.

She received her R.N. from Christ Hospital School of Nursing and her B.A. from God's Bible School, both of Cincinnati, OH.  She retired as a nurse from UT Medical Center after 25 years.  As a child of 12, she knew she wanted to be a nurse and a missionary.  She did both well because she loved serving others and had a huge heart for people.  Her infectious laugh and strength was known by all who met her.  She continued to encourage others to meet her in Heaven.  As her earthly body began to weaken, she never weakened in her fighting spirit.

Graveside service and interment will be held at 1:00 PM Monday, June 29, 2020 at Clark's Grove Cemetery, Rev. Dana Bentz officiating.  Family and friends may pay their respects Sunday from 9:00 AM until 4 PM at Miller Funeral Home, Maryville.
