Obituary For Mrs. Gloria Spencer

FARRELL A homegoing celebration in honor of Mrs. Gloria Ann Spencer will be held Monday at 11am at Valley Baptist Church, 500 Sharon New Castle Rd in Farrell, PA. Gloria entered into eternal Life Sunday June 12, 2022 at home surrounded by her loving family. Gloria Ann Spencer was born on August 4, 1956. She was the only daughter to the late Rev. Anderson T and Mary E Tatum (McKoy). Gloria graduated from Farrell High School in 1974. After graduation, she went to work in the Business office of Farrell Area School District, then later came back as a Computer Aid after her department at Liberty Mutual (where she worked for approximately 15 years as a financial analyst) closed. Gloria also worked as the assistant Secretary at Valley Baptist Church when needed, from time to time. She had a huge heart which allowed her to spread love many different ways; from fostering children in need through the Bair Foundation (for over 10 years), to picking up people she barely knew, to even singing in the choir in her own special key (all while forgetting the words to the songs, so she’d make up her own rendition). On September 3, 1988 Gloria married the LOVE of her life Dwight Spencer Sr. Added to this union was the blended family consisting of Sonianne Spencer, Dwight Spencer Jr. and Louisa Spencer. With their love two years later came their only daughter together Tasha Lynn Cannon. She leaves to cherish her memory her husband, Dwight Spencer Sr; her children, Tasha Lynn Cannon (Russ) of Tennessee, Sonianne Spencer, Louisa Spencer, Dwight (Dawn) Spencer Jr all of Niagara Falls, NY; her grandchildren; Noah Cannon, Neela Cannon-Razo of Spring Hill, TN, Brianna Spencer, Morgan Spencer, Laila Spencer, Dwight Spencer III, Kennisha Lee, Kennedy Lee, Makhi Spencer; two great grandchildren; Kamille and Aliyah; two sisters-in-love; Sherry Lee and Deborah Owens-Williamson; two brother -in- laws; Cleveland Spencer (Katrina) and Terry Spencer of Niagara Falls, NY; three uncles; George (Eileen) Batchelor of Youngstown, OH, James (Patricia) Tatum of Farrell, PA, Paul Tatum of Allentown, PA; her special god children, Norman Blue Jr, Christian Jackson, and Janai Smith; two god sisters; Ariane Powell and Crystal Blue; and a host of close family and friends.

Gloria was welcomed to her eternal resting place by her parents, Rev. Anderson and Mary (McKoy)Tatum; her paternal grandparents Anderson and Lydia Tatum Sr; and maternal grandmother Daisy McKoy. Gloria was also greeted with wide opened arms by her two special cousins\sisters Connie Smith and Barbara Lynn Blue, along with her best friend Carol Jones. The family will receive friends Monday June 20, 2022 from 10-11am at the church.
