Virginia Sue Lindsey Spooner passed away on July, 23, 2023, at her home in Natchitoches with her daughter and son-in-law at her bedside.
Virginia was born May 22, 1932 in Smackover, Arkansas, to Ernest Reed Lindsey Sr. and Nola Mattie Harris Lindsey. She was the youngest of seven children. Her family moved to El Dorado, AR when she was five years old, and she attended schools there until graduating as Miss El Dorado High School in 1950.  She met and later married her high school sweetheart, Bill Spooner.  They had two children, Susan Alene Spooner Gunther, born in 1953 and Jeffery Clyde Spooner, born in 1955.
The family moved to Monroe, LA in 1959. They relocated to Kennett, MO in 1968 where they bought an automotive business, and Virginia was the bookkeeper.
Bill and Virginia moved back to El Dorado in 1990 to help his mother. Their final move was to Natchitoches in 2007 to be near their daughter and son-in-law.
Virginia was active in the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Eldorado, Covenant Presbyterian Church in Monroe, La, First Presbyterian Church in Kennett, Mo and a current member of First Presbyterian in Natchitoches. She volunteered in the Church Office, was a member of the Adult Sunday School class and Presbyterian Women/Bible Study. Virginia participated in the exercise classes at Curves and at the Council on Aging. She was always an exerciser, enjoying walking, yoga as well as aerobic classes which probably contributed to her long life.
