Warren Kedric Scoville, Sr., 89, of Griffin, GA, passed away Thursday, March 20, 2025.

Warren was born in Miami, FL on January 24, 1936 and grew up in Macon, GA.

He is preceded in death by his father, Virgil Hoyle Scoville, his mother Martha Claire Moseley Scoville, and an infant son.

Warren had a long and rewarding career in the financial world, beginning with Retail Credit in Macon, GA, followed by specialized training from Trust Company run by Mr. Wyche Evans Bruner (becoming one of “Bruner’s Brats”) before working for First National Bank of Griffin (Vice-President), then moving his family to Thomson, GA in 1971 for an opportunity with the Bank of Thomson (President), returning to Griffin five years later in 1976 to work for National Bank of Georgia (commuting daily from Griffin to Atlanta), then working with Commercial Bank (later becoming First Union) (President), and ended his career with United Bank of Griffin (President).

Warren was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army and attended Mercer University in Macon, GA, where he met the love of his life, Lena Ann Chaplin from Columbus, GA, on a fortuitous blind date. They married on October 17, 1959 and celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in 2024.

He graduated from Mercer University in 1958 with a B.A. from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and was a Brother of Kappa Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Order at Mercer University.

Warren was active in many organizations and was recognized for his leadership roles, volunteer work, and commitment to the local communities in Macon, Thomson, and Griffin including Rotary, FUMC Men’s Bible Class, Griffin Development Authority (and was instrumental in bringing Caterpillar to Griffin), Chairman of the Griffin Spalding Chamber of Commerce in 2002 and named General Griffin in 1999, active with the United Way of Thomson, President of the Exchange Club of Griffin (and their “Man of the Year” in 1994), Griffin-Spalding Historical Society, The Deck Club, among others.

In 2002, Ann and Warren bought a second home on Black Island in Darien, GA and spent many happy years “on the coast” before eventually selling it in 2022 and returning full-time to Griffin.

Warren is survived by his wife, Lena Ann Chaplin Scoville; daughter Susan Land Scoville Morris (Hugh) of Winter Park, FL; daughter Lena Ansley Scoville of Brunswick, GA; daughter Ann Chartrand Scoville of Greenville, GA; son Kedrick Fitzgerald (Addie) of Mason, OH; sister Virginia Scoville McClure (Albert “Mac”) of Macon, GA; grandchildren Jesse “Jay” Carl Smith, V (Elizabeth) of Washington, DC; Alexandra Price Morris of Washington, DC; Jack Fitzgerald, Madison Fitzgerald, and Will Fitzgerald of Mason, OH; nephew Darin McClure (Keena and children Madeline and Henry) of Macon, GA; niece Jennifer McClure of Seattle, WA; nephew Jeffrey “Jeff” McClure (Tonya and children Chase and Lawson) of Macon, GA.

Things that gave Warren the most joy include spending time with his family, working hard at whatever job he had (whether it was at a bank or doing yardwork at home), taking his children and grandchildren out to “The Farm” on Tomochichi Rd in Griffin to fish on the lake and being outdoors at the creek, watching news and sports, reading and learning about history, traveling with Ann to see their son play high school and college football, and spending time with “his dog”, Peaches, who turned out to be one of the best Jack Russell terriers ever. He had a great sense of humor and will be deeply missed by his family and friends and those in the community who knew him.

Warren will be cremated and laid to rest in the First United Methodist Church Memorial Garden. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, May 23, 2025, with a visitation at 10am, service at 11am, and reception at noon at the First United Methodist Church, 1401 Maple Drive, Griffin, GA 30224. The Generals Griffin are requested by the family to sit together during the service. The service will be live streamed on the Griffin First United Methodist Church Facebook page and will also be available as a recording for later viewing.
