Spencer Hanks Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Known to most as "Hank", he leaves to cherish his memories his loving and devoted wife (Ruth Rivers Hanks), children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
"Hank" fought a good fight and finished his course with grace. Just minutes before his "88th BIRTHDAY", God gently ushered him home. Though we loved him deeply, we take comfort in knowing that God loves him even more.
His life was a testament to strength, faith, and unwavering love. We will miss him dearly, but his legacy will live on in each of us.
As we walk through this season of loss, we're reminded of the words from
Ecclesiastes 3:1: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
