Maxey Scaffe Obituary

Maxey Camille Avant Scaffe Mt. Pleasant - Maxey Camille Avant Scaffe, 80, entered into eternal rest the morning of Thursday. Camille was fortunate enough to pass peacefully in her favorite chair and with her loyal dog, Wolfe, by her side. Camille Scaffe was born to proud parents Maggie and Monk Avant of Walterboro, South Carolina. Due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, a celebration of life will be planned for a future date once safer conditions exist for travel and group gatherings. She graduated from Furman University and enjoyed a long career as a Paralegal for a Charleston law firm. She enjoyed water-skiing, attending NASCAR races, going to the beach with family, reading, and had an amazing love of animals (including a pet raccoon). She also enjoyed painting and gardening throughout her life. Lastly, we must mention that she was a lifelong Clemson fan. We will sorely miss this 'character.' She is survived by her stepson, David Scaffe; one sister, Marcia Wilson Reitzer; nieces, Joni Wilson Massey and Becky Wilson Farrar; one nephew, John P. Wilson; her beloved dog, Wolfe, along with three rescue cats; numerous great-nieces/nephews and great-great-nieces/nephews and dear friends. She was predeceased by her son, L. Eric Smith, both parents, and her husband, Irving Eugene Scaffe. The relatives and friends of Camille Scaffe are invited to express their condolences in the online guest book by visiting www.jhenrystuhr.com. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc., Mount Pleasant Chapel. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Pet Helpers, 1447 Folly Road, James Island, SC 29412.

It will shortly be one year since Camille's passing. Very sad I did not see her soon before that. Thinking about her - and her son Eric - often. Sending up prayers that they are comfortable, and can be together. We had fun family times. Condolences to family members on this sad anniversary.

As a fairly recent college graduate, I was hired by the Steinberg Law firm to work as their front office greeter, runner and administrative assistant. Camille was my supervisor and became someone I admired. She was sharp in intelligence, wit and dress. Her style was classic and yet she was very fashionable. Her wit and laughter still resounds in my memory. I was very jealous of her red hair...it was stunning. My condolences to her family and dear ones.
