Frances Stewart Scarboro, 92, died January 29, 2019, following a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's.
A Jacksonville native born October 6, 1926, Frances attended local schools, graduating from Landon High School, Class of 1945. Frances married William (Billy) Carswell, and this union produced three children: William Craig Carswell (deceased), John Malcolm Carswell (Margaret), and Rebecca Carswell Zonis (Michael). Following her divorce, Frances married John P. Scarboro Jr., a Fernandina resident, and had a wonderful life with John for 42 years. Frances remained active playing golf and working in her garden until she became afflicted with the onset of dementia. Even then, Frances and John continued to entertain at the home they built on the creek off Blackrock Road in Yulee. The home was filled with family, relatives, and friends.
In addition to her husband, John Scarboro, and her children, Frances is survived by her three granddaughters, Kitty Carswell, Mary Elizabeth Clark (Justin), and Christy Rutland (Rob), and seven great-grandchildren, Jonah, Jack, Morgan and Aubrey Clark, Rylee, Chase and Addison Rutland, Trish Harrell (Paul), and Wade Scarboro (Jeanette).
Family and friends will gather at a later date to celebrate a wonderful life well lived.
For those who may wish, a memorial may be given in her name to a charity of your choice.
