Sandra Gayle Spoon

Sandra Gayle Spoon

passed away at her home on Saturday, Nov. 9, in Lubbock.

Graveside services were held Saturday, Nov. 16, at Englewood Cemetery in Slaton. Arrangements were by Englunds Funeral Service in Slaton.

Sandra was born on Aug. 17, 1945, in Spur, Texas, to Norma Agatha and Joseph Dee Williamson. She was a 1963 graduate of Spur High School, where she was voted the class favorite. No surprise as everyone truly loved her heart and kindness.

She married James “Ronnie” Spoon on Sept. 25, 1964. She worked as a telephone operator for Southwestern Bell until becoming a homemaker and mother to her three precious children, Ronda, Melissa and Donald. Sandra had a wonderful knack for deeply caring for others and was a woman of great faith. Sandra truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures: chatting with her friends and family, Facebooking, snacking on gummy bears and spending time with her 10 grandchildren. Sandra had an uncanny ability to reach people in a deep, positive way. She loved country music, television shows and following her favorite stars on Instagram.

Sandra joins her parents; a brother, Jackie Dee Williamson; nephews Dennis and Barry Williamson; and niece Brea in heaven.

Sandra is survived by her husband, Ronnie Spoon, of Lubbock, Texas; her children, Ronda Blackburn and husband Monte of Idalou, Melissa Cullen of Cameron, Donald Spoon and wife Lori of Lubbock, a sister Norma Jo Pentico of Rowlett; the loves of her life whom she made sure knew they were loved, her 10 grandchildren: Megan, Ryan, Emma, Baleigh, Kaden, Kennedy, Kyle, Kelsey, Riley and Brady; and many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
