Troy Joseph Scroggins, 83, passed away on June 26, 2022 in San Antonio, Texas. He was born April 26, 1939, the only child of Troy Scroggins and Zuzanna Rakowitz Scroggins in San Antonio. He was the grandson of one of the original Polish settlers of Panna Maria, Texas, and builder of the Church of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Saint Hedwig, Texas. He was very proud of his Polish roots and being from Texas.
Troy Joseph was educated in San Antonio in various schools, spending 9 years in institutions of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. He was attending Seminary to be a priest, but left to care for his ill Mother and didn’t return. He received a B.A. degree in Latin and English and later an M.A. in English from Our Lady of the Lake University. He taught American History, English, and Latin in various public high schools (Randolph, McCollum, Randolph, and Roosevelt), in the San Antonio area for 18 years, 1963-81. Then he worked for AT&T Yellow Pages in various positions for 20 years in San Antonio, Dallas, and Saint Louis. He retired in 2002.
While in San Antonio, he sang in the SA Liederkrantz, a Men’s German Choral. He also liked listening to symphony, concerts, classical music, and opera. On occasion, he translated Latin text in the music for the Dallas Orchestra director. He enjoyed art museums, traveling, reading, genealogy, and history, especially Texas, photography, and taking pictures of courthouses, old buildings, and Catholic churches. He joined the Panna Maria Historical Society and made memorial contributions in honor of his Great Maternal Grandparents.
