Mrs. Spradlin (as we were told to call her) was a lovely lady. I remember fondly the meals she prepared for us (Winn, Clarence, me) when Winn and daddy went to Scottsville to go squirrel hunting. She will be missed. She and Hoyt and Winn and Daddy are probably swapping stories now.

Hoyt and Betty, I am saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Spradlin. May God grant you peace and serenity in the days to come. (I'm Harold and Ophelia's daughter).
