KENNETH SPENCER  

Kenneth Lee Spencer, 88, husband of the late Violet Doris Spencer, passed away Thursday, November 10, 2022, in his home surrounded by his loved ones

 

Born in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, Ken was the son of the late Robert Walter Spencer and Bertie A. Hartsoe.  Ken was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather whose greatest joy was putting a smile on everyone’s face. Ken was a retired business owner where he designed and built cabinetry. He could often be found in his garden growing many vegetables that he also enjoyed canning and cooking. He loved to entertain people by singing and would often be seen showing off his dance moves. Quite the prankster and jokester, Ken truly was the life of the party. His smile was contagious and lit up the room.

 

Ken is survived by his children, Kenny Spencer (Debbie) of Heath, TX, Rob Spencer (Marie) of Landrum, SC, Lisa Arrowood of Walhalla, SC, and Kelly Lupinski (Larry) of East Hampton, CT; his 7 grandchildren, Shena Mintz (Sean) of Saluda NC, Ashley Eller (MJ) of Walhalla, SC, Jamie Miller (Matthew) of Charleston, SC, Abby Arrowood-Ross (Elizabeth) of Seneca, SC, Alexis Barker (Matthew) of Seneca, SC, Sam Spencer and Kate Spencer of Heath TX; his 7 great-grandchildren, Brilee, Bryce, Avery, Callie, Solomon, Creedence, and Verity;  his siblings, Lib Wilson (the late Jim) of Kings Mountain, NC, Eddie Spencer (Joye) of Durham, NC, Terry Spencer (Linda) of Lincolnton, NC; and his sister-in-law, Patricia Spencer (William) of Cocoa Beach Florida.

 

In addition to his wife and parents, Ken was preceded in death by his brother, William Spencer; sisters, Nadine Carson and Bobby Page; and his great-granddaughter, Ella Grace Mintz.

 

A memorial service will be held at 3:00 pm, Sunday, November 27, 2022, at Sandifer Funeral Home Chapel.  The family will receive friends and family from 2:30 pm to 3:00 pm, prior to the service at Sandifer Funeral Home.
