Don Spell Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Don moved to Lakeland 59 years ago, where he built a life filled with faith, service, and love for his family and community. A proud veteran of the United States Navy, Don served his country with honor and dedication. His deep faith was central to his life-he was a devoted member of Kings Church and found great joy in singing and reading the Bible.
Don is survived by his beloved siblings: Glenda McKinney, Barbara Novak, Ted Spell, and Chuck Spell. He will be remembered for his kind spirit, gentle humor, and steadfast devotion to God and family.
A graveside service celebrating Don's life will be held on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 10:00 AM at Auburndale Memorial Park, where friends and family will gather to honor his memory and the life he lived so faithfully.
