Marlene Rose Spafford joined our Almighty Father on January 29, 2019
surrounded by loved ones, after a courageous battle with an extended
illness. Marlene was born November 23, 1947, in Muncie, Indiana.
We are blessed with many valuable lessons from Marlene, among them to
continually have faith in God and in all things to always, “Declare the
favor of The Lord.”
Marlene's love and devotion to her boys drove her
tireless work ethic. She brought so much beauty into this world through her
positivity, laughter and unyielding faith in Jesus Christ. She was a ray of
sunshine and will always be cherished.
She was preceded in death by
her mother Ruby, father Leon and sister Judy.
Left to honor Marlene
and remember her love are four sons Scott Cain (wife Peggy), Thomas Spafford
(wife Jennifer), Anthony Spafford (wife Angie) and Jamie Spafford (wife
Bethanna), Four grandchildren Autumn Forbes, Gabriel Spafford, Angel
Spafford and Eliana Spafford, Three sisters Sharon Kohn, Linda Main and Mary
Graham, Two brothers John Reagan and Roger Reagan and many nieces and
nephews.
Funeral services will be 3:00 PM Saturday February 9, 2019
in the Baird-Freeman Funeral Home with Rev. Mark Niemoeller presiding.
Burial will follow in the Green Park Cemetery. Family will receive guests
from 1:00 – 3:00 PM prior to the services. In lieu of flowers memorials can
be made to Saint Jude Children's Hospital.
