Buddy was born on February 15, 1935 in Madison County, GA, to Samuel Grady Scarborough and Martha Mayo Patterson Scarborough. He graduated from Danielsville High School and married the love of his life, Barbara Jean Whitehead in 1953. He had a long, successful career in Information Technology and happily retired from Westinghouse/ABB.
Buddy was a great family man - a loving father, father-in-law, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend. He had a deep abiding faith in his Lord, Jesus Christ. His favorite thing to do besides being with family and friends was sharing his testimony of how God delivered, saved and blessed him completely. He will be remembered as a kind, gently Godly man of integrity, a loyal and faithful person full of life with a wonderful sense of humor.
A celebration of life is scheduled for 3PM on Friday, April 24, at Lord and Stephens Madison Chapel in Danielsville, GA. Burial will follow at Colbert Cemetery. Visitation with the family will be between 6-8PM on Thursday, April 23 also at Lord and Stephens Madison Chapel. Donations may be made in his honor to his dear friends' Hugh & Louise Skelton's ministry, Mission Support Services, P O Box 7021, Chestnut Mountain, Georgia 30502.
