Alma Marie Young Spruance, 65
HARRINGTON - Alma Marie Young Spruance of Harrington departed this life Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2007, in Christiana Care-Christiana Hospital, Newark, after an unexpected illness. She was 65.
She was born in Lincoln to the late Willis and Mattie J. Young, on Dec. 4, 1941.
Alma received her education at Lincoln Elementary School.
Later in life, she became a mother to five children, two of whom preceded her in death, William Young and Christine Griffin.
Alma was a very spirited individual who always tried the very best she could to make her life a little bit easier for everyone that she came in contact with.
She was affectionately called "Granny" by many of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as people who came to know her.
Alma loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with all her heart. The life she lived proved that. Anyone who came in contact with her could feel the love of God in her presence.
She lived well, loved hard and most of all, she ran her course, finished the fight and kept the faith.
"Sis," as she was called by her brothers and sisters, will be sadly missed.
She was preceded in death by children, William Young, Christine Griffin; and her brothers and sister, Charles H. Waples, Titis J. Young, George E. Young and Estella M. Butler.
She leaves to cherish her precious memories two sons, Charles Young and his wife Delmeta of Harrington, and Curtis Young and his wife Sheila of Bridgeville; one daughter, Antonia Thomas of Lewes; a devoted aunt and uncle, Oscar and Naomi Young of Milford; 25 grandchildren; 47 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, cousins and friends.
Alma will be missed by all and cherished in their hearts always.
Services will be 1 p.m. Saturday in the Welcome Full Gospel in Slaughter Neck, where a viewing will begin at noon.
Interment will be in the Williamsville Cemetery in Houston.
Memorial donations to help defray funeral expenses may be sent to the Young Family, P.O. Box 53, Houston, DE 19954.
Arrangements by Young & McPherson Funeral Home, Milford.
