Sally Beth "Honey" Thatcher Spurrier, an Azle resident since 1951, passed away Monday, September 28, 2015 at her home in Azle. Service: 10:00 A.M. Friday at Cornerstone Community Church. Interment: Azleland Memorial Park. Visitation: 6 to 8 P.M. Thursday at White's Azle Funeral Home. Sally Beth Thatcher, born Sunday, February 11, 1934 in Stoney, Texas, Denton County, was the seventh of eight children. In 1943 she moved to Fort Worth. Her school years there began at Castleberry Elementary and concluded at North Side High School. After marrying the love of her life, Jack Spurrier, on June 10, 1950, she began the most important journey of her life, motherhood. She became a Christian early in her life and was a member of Cornerstone Community Church at the time of her death. Her life was a book, read by all men. Among her talents were gardening, canning, sewing, embroidery and child rearing. She was a supportive helpmate to her husband, life-long inspiration to her children and a creative teacher to her grandchildren. Some people's lives are filled with worldly achievements or paper degrees; hers was defined by her attributes. Some people taught life lessons; Sally lived them. She was preceded in death by her father, Frank C. Thatcher; mother, Agnes Christal Thatcher; brothers, Joe Thatcher, Frank Thatcher, Forest Thurman "Billy" Thatcher; sisters, Jane Higgs and Polly Stafford Tettinger; and grandsons, Jonathan and Zachary. Survivors: spouse, Jack E. Spurrier; children, Debra and Chris Morrison, Tommy and Judy Spurrier, Dan and Luanne Spurrier, Ruthann and Marvin Hull, Maribeth and Ray Landers, Johnna and Brian Morris, Dawn and Van Davison; sisters, Edith Cleere, Peggy Stroup; 20 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; and many loving friends.
