Lois Jean Spicer

Lois "Jean" Spicer passed away peacefully on Friday, October 24th, at the age of 89, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on November 4, 1936, in Core, a daughter of the late Jesse Eddy and Sylvia Yost Eddy. Jean married Jack Spicer on January 25, 1965, and celebrated 19 years of marriage until his untimely death in 1984.

She was the beloved matriarch of the Eddy family and cherished by all. Being from a family of 19, Jean learned resilience at an early age and helped care for her younger siblings. She took great pride in her family and cooking. Jean was an avid listener of country music and loved looking at cookbooks to find the next great dessert to make.

Her favorite moments were spent at the family Homeplace, where she gathered every Sunday with her siblings and extended family to share stories, laughter, and love. Her presence will be deeply missed at every gathering, holiday, and beyond.
