L.B. Spurlock

LB Spurlock April 7, 1929 ~ November 13, 2013 LB Spurlock, son of Ammon and Cora (Rogers) Spurlock, was born in Bay, AR on April 7, 1929. He passed into Jesus’ waiting arms on November 13, 2013, after succumbing to complications of Parkinsons, surrounded by his wife, Shirley and daughters, Brenda (Russ) Wills and Patti (Jon) Morrison. When LB was 10 years old, his family moved to Monitor, where he attended grade school, then on to Cashmere High School, graduating in 1947. In 1948, he married Shirley Hovey. Their first two years were spent in California, where their two daughters were born, as he worked for the Standard Oil Service Stations. Upon moving back to the Wenatchee Valley, he continued to work for Standard Oil, until joining Chuck Rowland in a partnership of a Chevron Station, then the Cascadian Garage in Wenatchee. Several years later, they were the proud owners of an orchard in Monitor and Barney’s Tavern in Cashmere, until they retired. He was a member of the Cashmere Lions Club and Monitor Fire Dept. LB’s greatest joys in life were family, friends, sports (especially Cashmere Football and Basketball) hunting, water skiing, stock car racing and most anything outdoors. After retirement, he continued to go to Cashmere Sporting events, share fruits and vegetables with everyone he could think of, and socialize with friends over coffee. Preceding him in death were his parents; sisters, Frieda (Doyle) Largent and lda (Wayne) McAnally; nephews, Stan Spurlock and Bob McAnaIly. Besides his wife and daughters, he is survived by his 91 year-old sister, Fyrn (Blackie) Broomfield, whom he got to share a room with the last year of his life; his granddaughters, Tawnya Wills, Kiffen (Cy) Sousley, Jennifer (Bill) Donald, and Jaclyn (Dan) Reichert; and 11 great-grandchiIdren: T.J. Robinson, Austin Sabedra, Tristan and Angelina Napoles, Jesse, Emmy, and Cooper Sousley, Jackson and Christian Donald and Jordyn and Ashlyn Reichert; along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. We want to give special thanks to Roger, Monica, and Rene of The Souve House for taking such good care of him his final days.
