Sarah Spicer Obituary

SPICER, Sarah Linda, died Fri., June 18, 2004 after a long illness. Born April 23, 1939, in Mallory, WV, Sarah was the daughter of the late William C. and Magdalene "Peggy" Spicer of Man, WV. Sarah was graduate of Man High School and worked most of her life for Island Creek Coal Company in WV, Painstville, KY, and in Lexington. Her last job was at LexMark in Lexington. Sarah was always a hard working and reliable employee. Sarah was known for her quick wit and keen sense of humor. She played the guitar and ukulele, and enjoyed listening to wide variety of music. Sarah had a lifelong affection for cats. After moving to Lexington, she became fervent KY Wildcat supporter and a horse-racing fan. One of Sarah's favorite activities was attending the weeklong Frazier family reunion in WV, where her offbeat sense of humor shined. Sarah is survived by her sister-in-law Margaret Spicer of Lexington and nephews William E. Spicer of Fort Mitchell, KY, James E. Spicer of Woodford Co., and John R. Spicer of Lexington. She was preceded in death by her brothers Jack and Jerry L. Spicer. At Sarah's request, there will be a graveside service only. It will be conducted at Highland Memorial Gardens, Pecks Mill, Logan County, WV at a date and time to be announced. Sarah had also requested that no flowers be sent.www.milwardfuneral.com

I had the good fortune to start at Lexmark in the Accounts Payable department. The people were great, hard working and friendly. Back in those days we always had potlucks - it seems like once a month - and I remember that Sarah always brought the healthiest food! One day she came in wearing a sweatshirt with a 'Big Dog' logo and ever since then we called her The Big Dog. She is surely missed. I am happy for her though, because she is in a far better place.

Sarah worked with me for several years at Lexmark. We used to joke that we were the two oldest members in our department. She attended my wedding and always bragged that my wedding was the first she ever attended that the food that was suppose to be hot was hot when it was served. Sarah you will always be in my heart and I will always remember the talks we had. This is not a good-bye for we will meet again around God's throne.

I worked across the hall from Sarah for nearly four years and grew to know her as a great woman. She was as nice as anyone could be and always thoughtful and honest. Her applachain draw made me feel at home! I spent many mornings talking to her about growing up in the mountains, her love of horses, and my daily request for her to turn down the ringer on her phone! She wanted to be able to hear the phone even if she was on the other hall. After nearly falling out of my chair every time it rang for a month I finally got use to it. Sarah was a grand southern lady who was loved by us all and will be dearly missed.

Sarah took my under her wing when I started working at Lexmark. She was someone I looked up to and could go to for advise. She was always full of engery and was willing to help anyone that needed it. I will never forget her kindness. Go Big Dog. Love you.

Sarah trained me on my first job at Lexmark. She and I shared an office together. One of the first things we talked about besides work was music. I'll always remember her saying to me in her slow, southern drawl, "I like that fusion jazz all right too,". She kept me in good spirits every time I was around her. God love her!
