Spencer (Bryant) of Milledgeville; a soon-to-be great grandson, John Clark Spencer; and many cousins and friends.  Pallbearers will be Lamar Baxley, John Dukes, Randy Dukes, Billy Faglier, Bill McDaniel, Steve Pickard, Alan Wasden and Cecil Williams. Serving as honorary pallbearers are Charles Poole, Ralph Burke, Tommie Burke and William Burke.
The family will receive friends at James Funeral Home prior to the services on Sunday, MAR 4, 2012, from 1:30-2:30P.M.
The family desires to have memorial contributions made to Ebenezer Cemetery Fund, c/o James F. Clark, 4215 Hobbs Rd, Wrens, GA 30833.
For their loving support during this sudden illness, the family extends their heartfelt gratitude to her church family, Dr. David Squires and Augusta Oncology.

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;  He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the  shadow of  death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou annointest my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will  dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
