Our sweet momma, grandma, granny, and old granny will be dearly missed by all of us that loved her. She was funny, a little sassy at times, the best cook ever, a caregiver with a very loving heart, and our personal prayer warrior on many, many occasions.
Granny was a Christian that loved the Lord. October 7th was a sad day for us, but a happy day in Heaven as God welcomed his newest angel home.
Chapel services will be 10 am Saturday at Roller-Farmers Union Funeral Home, 1900 West Washington Avenue in Jonesboro. Bobby Spencer and Patrick Spencer will officiate. Burial will follow at Oakridge Cemetery in Bono.
Visitation will be 6-8 pm Friday at the funeral home.
Marie's grandsons, Patrick Spencer, Jeremy Spencer, Norm Hagar, Nick Lavoie, Dakota Hagar and Brian Crawford will serve as pallbearers.
David Crawford, Austin Crawford and Cy Decker will serve as honorary pallbearers.

Our love, prayers and condolences to the family of Sister Spencer. What a wonderful lady to have been around. We have fond memories of the times spent with her at Maumelle AG. I still smile as I remember her trying to corral Jeremy and Patrick and even Brother Bobby at times. One day not too far off we will join her and those who have gone before us. What a glad day that will be.
