Lagrange – Jacquelyn “Jackie” I. (Decker) Spencer, 77, passed away peacefully June 18, 2024, at Westgate in Bangor surrounded by love. She was born August 18, 1946, in Milo.

Family was so important to Jackie and she thoroughly immersed herself in the role of family matriarch. Christmas was her favorite holiday and she delighted in all the cooking, shopping, decorating, and family getting together enjoying laughter and fun.

She was predeceased by her dad, Thomas Decker; stepmother, Phyllis; sister, Sheryl Chase; past husband, Ralph Spencer; and her significant other, Gleason Morrison of 30 plus years.
