of Conway, AR
August 31, 1939 - October 2, 2019
Ronald Spurr, 80, of Conway, AR, went to be with the Lord on October 2, 2019. He was born August 31, 1939, in St. Paul, Minnesota, to the late Myrl and Eleanor (Salkowitz) Spurr. Ron was preceded in death by his sisters, Gini and Merle Ann Spurr.
Ron served honorably in the U.S. Navy and had a fulfilling career in newspaper management. He devoted his life to providing the perfect life for his wife and family. He enjoyed golfing, traveling, sports car rallies, and flying. Ron was loved very much by his family, who will dearly miss his dry sense of humor and words of wisdom.
Left to cherish his memory is his loving family; devoted wife of 56 years, Ann Spurr; daughters, D'Anna (David) Williams and Theresa (Brian) Luker; son, Mike (Christina) Spurr; brother, Robert (Elaine) Spurr; 13 grandchildren, Brandon, Ronnie Ann, Brianna, Michael, Miranda, Micah, Gabe, Jasmine, Dylan, Hannah, Nainoa, Savannah, and Maile; two great-grandsons, Drake and Dominic; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Special thank you to grandson, Brandon for being Ron's personal nurse, physical therapist, chauffeur, advocate, and sidekick for the past 3 years.
Memorial service will be at 10:00am, Friday, October 11, 2019, at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Conway with private interment to follow.

My mother Ann Willard- Bevans worked at the "Star" for many years and always spoke so highly of Ron Spurr. Even though I only met him a few times he has held a special place in my heart for the last 31 years. He was generous in arranging for my husband and I to hold our wedding reception at the Saticoy Country Club. It was so special and beautiful and we have always been thankful for his kindness. I know my mother would want to express her condolences as well, however she is in the mid stage of dementia and does not remember much. I am glad she shared her memories of working for Mr. Spurr when she was able to. I know she admired him and enjoyed working under his direction very much. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
