Robert "Bobby" Samuel Spencer

Bobby was born on July 27, 1946, to the late Sam and Eva Cheeks Spencer in Raeford, NC. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Johnny, Jimmy, and Ricky Spencer; and his sisters, Rhonda Velevis and Linda Barefoot.

A devoted husband, father, and grandpa, Bobby was a hardworking man of quiet strength and a generous heart. He found much joy in life's simple pleasures, whether hunting for treasures at yard sales, tending his garden, or patiently tinkering with a lawn mower. He poured his heart into his family and approached every day with a hands-on work ethic. He was the kind of person who could fix just about anything. Though he will be greatly missed and forever cherished by all who knew him, the love he gave will remain with his family and friends always.

He is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Betty Spencer of Raeford; two sons, Robert Spencer, Jr. and wife, Shana, of Pembroke, and Gary Spencer and wife, Natalie, of Raeford; and one daughter, Debra Beasley and husband, Shawn, of Raeford. He was blessed with nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Kathy Johnson and husband, Terry, of Raeford.
