Also, surviving is brother, Hurston 'Baba' of Wayne; sisters: Tennessee May and Birdie Newsome of Dingess, and sister-in-law, Judy Marcum of Columbus, Ohio.

Preceding her in death on July 23, 2015, was her beloved husband of 67 years, Byron 'Buck' Spry; two grandsons; brother, John 'Buck' Marcum and four additional siblings.

Funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m. Friday, August 12, at Evans Funeral Home and Cremation Services at Chapmanville, by Pastors Roger McCauley and Jimmy Darrell Newsome.

Visitation will be from 6-9 p.m. Thursday, August 11 at the funeral home.

The committal and burial, alongside her husband, will be at Spry Cemetery at Francis Creek at Harts, W.Va., following Friday's service.

The family would like to extend their love and gratitude to the staff of techs/nurses at Greater Boone Dialysis Center for their special care these past long, seven months.

She will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Dear Larry, Eva and Gale: Knowing your family and the memories that I have of you, have always been cherished and held in a special place within my heart. Words can not express my gratitude to your family for your graciousness and acceptance from those days when I was a child and you lived at Monitor. Visiting with Pauline, Larry and Eva this past April was indeed a very special day for my wife and I. You were lucky to have Pauline and Byron (Buck) as parents. All of you will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

She was a one of a kind flower and I will miss her soooo very much. She was unbelievablly kind and loving. "Let me fix you something to eat" was what she always said when you go about her.
