Lou was a truly remarkable woman and a great friend. I will forever miss our great talks about life, love, the good books we read, and how we found humor in the little things. Your friendship was a blessing to me and your memory will be something I will always treasure.
Aunt Lou will be so missed. I have a lot to smile about in all my Memories with her & Family.
What a wonderful life she had.
Will always be in my heart.
With love

Aunt Lou will be missed. Although we didn’t see her often, it was always fun to for the Allison’s from Terrell to meet her halfway to Whiteoak for lunch and get caught up on news. Love you Cousins.
Thinking about the family. Thank you for the memories Aunt Lou!

Aunt Lou, The Love You Had for Your Family and Your Brothers’ Families was Felt by All of Us when we were Little❤️ And as we grew. Uncle Ralph telling each of us to come Spend the night and the Twinkle in your Eye every time he would say this.. Aunt Lou, We really wish we would have recorded your Memories from childhood and The times from Lake Texoma.. And raising all your children. Oh the Memories We Lost by Losing You , Aunt Lou? Much Love .
I didn’t know Mrs. Spencer, but always enjoyed the anecdotes about her and her life that Suzanne shared with me. It sounds like she was a wise, warm and loving woman and the world is a little colder without her.
Deepest sympathies to all of you that loved her and lost her. You are in my thoughts today as you say goodbye.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Prayers for her soul and deepest sympathy to the family.
Our prayers are with the family.
Lou was a fantastic lady, and a joy to anyone who knew her. My thoughts, prayers and love are with the family during this time.
Grandmommy, I will miss you. Love you-Bearach ?
I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Spencer one time, she had such a smile and beautiful outlook on life. I know the family will be blessed by her memories for many years! Many hugs to the family to help heal the hearts.
Our thoughts are with you Suzanne. I did not know your mother, but I know you loved her deeply. Her life was one well lived.
