Mary Spohn Obituary
Mary (Kay) Spohn, 75, was ushered into heaven early on Saturday, July 17, 2021 after a long battle with dementia. She was surrounded by her loving husband and children.
She held many titles throughout her life, but her favorites were wife, Mom, and especially Granna. She was passionate about loving her family well and serving her Savior.
She is survived by her husband, Dr. R. Terry Spohn; her three children, Dr. David Spohn (Jill), Christi Hellmund (John), Sarah Christian (T. Marcus); 11 grandchildren, Korynn, Alec, Lexi, Caleb, Josh, Nate, Ellee, Seth, Simon, Luke, and Eden; her three siblings, Charles Dewey Tabor III (Susie), Carol Lamb (Buddy), Terry Tabor; as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Mary Lee Tabor.

Dear Terry,
I've been trying to reconnect with you over the past 20 years since I last connected with you. Now, checking on the web, once again, I just learned about Kay's Homegoing several months ago. I know that has left a hole in your heart. My Jan went home 7 years ago this month so I can relate to your loss. Knowing of your deeply intimate relationship with our Savior, I am trusting that He has been filling that temporarily empty space in your heart. May our God bless you richly for the years of dedicated love you shared with your precious wife, particularly in her final time on earth; that's the time when the love we vowed at the altar faces its greatest test. God's peace and comfort to you, my friend. I look forward to seeing you again, on the Other Side. Thank you for your friendship, my brother. Cary Lantz (Fountain Hills, AZ)
