Linda Spencer Obituary
Linda J. Spencer, age 80, of Spring Lake passed away Saturday, February 19, 2022, at Heartwood Lodge Hospice Residence. She was born January 26, 1942, in Muskegon, Michigan, to George and Esther (Humphreys) DeVries; and married Roger Spencer on August 18, 1961, in Ravenna, Michigan. He preceded her in death on April 6, 1979.
Linda was the consummate volunteer, helping with the Ottawa County Council of Aging, Help Line, and many elderly folks in the community. She was a member of First Congregational Church in Fruitport. Linda loved playing the piano (her mother was a well-known piano teacher) and had a great sense of humor.
She is lovingly remembered by a daughter, Judie Spencer; two sons, Steven Spencer and Mark (Beth) Kolenda-Spencer; and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her sister, Wilma DeVries, and two brothers, Donald and Eugene "Gene" DeVries.
A celebration of life service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 5, 2022, at First Congregational Church with the Rev. Michael Scott officiating. Friends may meet the family after the celebration of life service at the luncheon. Memorials may be given to American Diabetes Association in her name.
