Victor Spencer

Victor H. Spencer (Vic as known by many), 92 of Pilot Mountain, NC passed away peacefully on March 8th, 2023 at the Joan and Howard Woltz Hospice House in Dobson, NC with family by his side.  He lived a long and wonderful life. Vic was born in Smithfield, NC and after losing his parents, John and Elva Spencer, at a young age, was adopted by his Aunt and Uncle Viola and Cecil Irvin.  Vic loved his country, was a US Army Veteran and served in the Korean War.  But more than anything Vic loved his family, music, singing (even if he had to make up the words) and being around people.  He was such a people person and never knew a stranger. 

Vic could never stay still.  He enjoyed being outside and was always finding something to do.  He loved working in produce and did so the majority of his career with Plemmons and Irvin in Winston-Salem and later owned his own little produce stand and store with his daughter in Pilot Mountain.

Vic was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.  He always looked forward to visits from his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Until the most recent years he had an amazing memory and told entertaining stories, sometimes with a hint of exaggeration.  He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Pilot Mountain and loved his Lord.  We all know now that Vic is dancing and singing to loud music with our Lord and those loved ones that we have lost before him.  We will hold you in our hearts until we can hold you again in heaven.

Well done, good and faithful servant.
You have been faithful over a little;
I will set you over much.
Enter into the joy of your master. – Matthew 25:21

Vic is survived by his wife (of just 20 days short of 70 years), Mary Jo Ferguson Spencer.  His daughter and son-in-law Vicki and Dicky Yount of Pilot Mountain.   His son and daughter-in-law Mark and Patsy Spencer of Wilmington, NC and his son Phil Spencer of Dallas, Texas.  He has 7 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.   Also surviving are 2 sisters Janelle Raushe of Indiana and Cecil Ann Clinard of Winston-Salem, NC.  He is predeceased in death by his parents and adoptive parents as well as two brothers Garmon and Clay Spencer.

The family is planning a celebration of life for a later date.

The family would like to thank the staff at Mountain Valley Hospice and Palliative Care and the staff at Joan and Howard Woltz Hospice House for the wonderful care that they were able to provide their loving husband, father and grandfather during his last days here on this earth.
