Spencer Gary Obituary

Spencer Lee Gary, 68, of Abbeville, beloved husband of Montee Gable Gary, passed away on Saturday, December 13, 2025, at Regency Hospital. He was born in Rome, GA, to Robert C. 'Bob' Gary, Sr. and the late Sarah Spencer Gary.

A proud graduate of Abbeville High School in 1976, Spencer was actively involved in sports during his youth. He dedicated many years of his life to serving the community through his work at the Abbeville Public Utilities (Hydro Plant) before retiring. He and his wife attended Shiloh Methodist Church of Antreville, where he found both fellowship and support.

Spencer had a passion for the outdoors, enjoying activities such as hunting and fishing, and he took great pleasure in collecting pottery. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his wife Montee of 44 years of the home; a daughter, Britany Lee Higgins (Ashley); his father, Bob Gary of Due West, SC; a brother, Robert C. Gary, Jr. of Abbeville, SC and a sister, Suzanne Gary Richards of Rock Hill, SC.
