George T. Spence

of Conway, AR

October 10, 1947 - August 12, 2019

George T. ''G.T.'' Spence, 71, of Conway, AR, went to be with the Lord Monday, August 12, 2019. He was born October 10, 1947, in Malvern, AR to the late Aubrey E. (Buddy) and Mary Lea (Payne) Spence. G.T. was also preceded in death by his brother, David P. Spence and his sister-in-law, Cheryl Spence.

G.T. grew up in Springhill, Louisiana. He graduated from Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA., with a degree in history and philosophy. G.T. furthered his studies in psychology while teaching at Ithaca College in New York and later at the University of Southern Mississippi. Upon moving to Conway, he worked at Arkansas Children's Hospital and Behavioral Health of Conway. He was very active in A.A., and credited the program for saving his life.

G.T. was a ''seed sower'' of New Life Church in Conway. He was a student of the Word and he devoted his life to spreading the word of God. He was considered a ''prayer warrior'' by his peers at NLC where he participated in many prayer groups. G.T.'s belief in the next generation was one of his most endearing qualities, and his service to that generation should be a testimony to all.

G.T. will be remembered for his loving heart and his love of the Lord. Spending time outdoors, camping, and caring for homeless cats and dogs was a passion. He always saw the bright side of every situation and his love of the Lord and others was evident to anyone he shared time with. G.T. was loved dearly by his friends and family, and he will be missed.

He is survived by brothers, Aubrey Spence (Ann), John Steven Spence and Raymond Spence (Kathryn); his nieces and nephews; life-long friends Mike and Camille Allen and Family, and his New Life Church Family.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 24, 2019 at 10:00 A.M. at New Life Church in Conway, AR. Memorials may be made to New Life Church Conway, or to the charity of your choice.
