Bobbye Carroll Soape Scarber

On August 19, 2024 Bobbye Carroll Soape Scarber passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loving family. She is survived by her husband and soul mate of 67 years, Prentice J. Scarber; her three daughters Pamela Alford, Tena Scarber, Leigh Peveto; son in laws Gary Alford and Paul Peveto. God blessed her and Prentice with 5 grandchildren Ashleigh Thomas and husband Trey, Haley Peveto, Kirby Alford and wife Jessie, Madison Hillin and husband Luke, and Cole Peveto. The most recent joy in their lives has been through the 8 great grandchildren Kaleigh, Brynn, Forrest, Isaac, Charlotte, Elliot, Walker, and Sonny. Bobbye has sisters Peggy Taylor and husband Kenneth, Janice Burns and husband Ronnie, brother Willie Joe Soape and wife Juanita; and sister-in-law Eunice Barrett and numerous nieces and nephews. Bobbye loved the Lord and knew Jesus as her personal and loving Savior. She was truly a Proverbs 31 woman of God, verse 30 “Charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” Many in the McLewis and Orangefield communities know “Mrs. Scarber” for her service of 21 years in the Orangefield ISD as school secretary. She cared for the children and parents lovingly as though they were her own. Bobbye was a member of Silver Oaks Baptist Church. God gifted Bobbye with a love for His people. She was a selfless servant of her Lord always thinking of others needs before herself. Her gifts of hospitality, encouragement, and mercy were poured out on all she encountered. To know Bobbye is to know the love of Jesus. Her legacy will live on through the lives she has touched.
