On July 3 1955, The world received a gift from God when Judith Ann Scales “Tarver” was born to Elmo Scales Jr and Margie Coleman Scales “Beard” (both preceded in death). Judith (Judy) was born in North Little Rock,

Arkansas and she was best known for her caring heart and her dedication to her family and closest friends. She had a very giving spirit and she welcomed and helped many with her kindness. Judy never knew a stranger. She truly was God’s favored child. Judith relocated to Tulsa,

Oklahoma during her youth where she graduated from Booker T. Washington. Upon graduation she began her

Judith welcomed her first bundle of joy, her son Jasmon Pitts (LaTosha) through her union with Jasper Pitts (preceded in death).
