Sadie Louise (Filby) Scoggins, 84, of Junction City, passed away Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at Midland Care Hospice in Topeka, Kansas. She was born at her family's home on September 19, 1925 in Junction City, the daughter of Henry J. and Bessie A. (Myers) Filby. She was the seventh of what would be 12 children total. At the age of seven, she survived having diphtheria--which claimed her older sister, Zula, and younger brother, Arthur.
She graduated from Junction City Junior/Senior High School in 1943 and, soon after, completed six-weeks' aircraft welding training with the National Youth Association (a government training program in support of World War II). Over the next several years, she held a variety of jobs at the Junction City Bus Depot: working as a waitress at ‘Barn Annex' snack bar, then as a cashier at the bus Transit Lines office, and later working at the Bus Depot's ticket desk.
On January 30, 1946, she married Floyd H. Scoggins and also started at the A. L. Duckwall store in downtown Junction City, working as a waitress in the store's luncheonette. Later that year, she moved on to a job with the local Gamble's store as a bookkeeper—a job she held for a short time before joining her husband in managing and running a sandwich shop. In June of 1947, she went back to Duckwall's to work as a store clerk and cashier bookkeeper.
She left the workforce in early 1952--in March of that year, she and Floyd welcomed their son, Floyd Robert (Bob), into their family, followed twelve years later by the birth of their daughter, Lori Ann, in 1964. During that time, Louise took in ironing to help with the household bills.
She started working as a hand cutter at the local Whittaker Cable Company in January of 1974: progressing through many varied jobs in her approximately 25 years of work there--ending up at the position of Production Supervisor. She retired from the plant in 1999.
Louise greatly enjoyed her family and friends, her cats, working in her flower gardens, watching the birds at her birdfeeders, sewing, crocheting, and eating peanut M&M's while enjoying reading her many books—a love she also passed on to her two children.
