Jim Spreier

Floyed Jimmy Spreier was born September 4, 1945 in Syracuse, Kansas to Henry and Rose Moody Spreier and passed away from this earthly life on May 12, 2021 following a sudden illness. "Jim" married Elda Clawson in 1970 and together they had two daughters, Kristina and Sheila. Jim also became a father to his stepdaughter, Rena. They made their home at Laverne, Oklahoma and a few years later, Jim adopted and provided a home for his great niece, Carol Jo. Jim later married Jane Camp in 1990 and they made their home at Okeene, Oklahoma. With this union, Jim gained a stepson named Trent. Jim went to work at a very early age in the oil and gas industry to provide for his mother and siblings after his father died. He later joined the military and served in the Vietnam War. After returning home he continued working in the oil and gas industry and eventually retired from the State of Oklahoma Department of Transportation. It appears he was destined to operate heavy machinery since he built roads in Vietnam and helped maintain Oklahoma highways. He made friends very easily and often enjoyed a cup of coffee with the guys at the convenience store. After moving to Oklahoma City in 2003, Jim had time to go fishing at Lake Overholser and that led to a new, bigger group of guys to swap stories with. Jim is survived by his wife Jane, of the home, two daughters; Rena Spray, Sheila and her husband, Samuel Piro of Laverne, Oklahoma, son; Trent Camp of Oklahoma City, two grandsons; Loren Spray and Ethan Zollinger, one granddaughter, Kathryn Luckett of Woodward, Oklahoma, three great grandchildren; Hadleigh and Winston Spray of Enid, Oklahoma and Stetson Luckett of Woodward, Oklahoma, two sisters; Margy Brown and Marlene Yarbro of Enid, Oklahoma, many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; Henry and Rose Spreier, former wife Elda Spreier, two daughters; Kristina Zollinger and Carol Spreier, siblings; Arlene Hoeme, Carol Burton, Thelma Brockelman, Opal Robinson, Margaret McCree, Ralph Spreier, Kenneth Spreier and Georgia McMullen.
