My prayers are with the family. I have great memories of Spence's Grocery at Dyess.

Pauline loved life and lived it to the full! She also loved her family greatly and was generous to those around her. She always had plenty on hand to eat and loved sharing her food with others. Her smile, laughter and sense of humor were contagious. She will be greatly missed but you will see her again as she is totally healed now and with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! I pray total peace and comfort for her family and that God will hold you all close during this time of grieving. Love and blessings to you all.

I am so sorry to hear Ms. Pauline passed. She was a sweet lady that cared about people and loved that garden. She would bring tomatoes and other veggies to me at work until she was not able to drive any longer and they were so yummy! I think that was her way of loving on people. You will be missed by many in this world Ms. Pauline!
