    Dorthy Helen Mackey Spencer

    August 27, 1922 - November 16, 2016

    Helen was born August 27, 1922 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri to James Bernard Mackey and Gertrude V. Sykes. Helen was raised by her father who adored her. He called her his sweetheart. She always said because of him she knew love. She met her eternal sweetheart William Don Spencer in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was a blind date, Don was playing poker and winning (anyone who knew Don knew he loved to play poker and he loved winning) so he wasn't excited about leaving the game, but when he saw Helen the game was forgotten and it was love at first sight. They were married 8 July 1945 in Colorado Springs. Later they were eternally sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple 8 December 1952. She is survived by her sisters Janet Wright, Nancy Peeler, John Mackey, and Mertie Robb; children David (Carol) Spencer, Kathleen (Karl) Young, Daniel (Julie Cummings) Spencer, John (Autumn) Spencer and Kaylyn (Bill) Voyles; 19 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren with 3 more on the way. She was preceded in death by her parents and her step-mother Mary; her beloved husband William Don Spencer; sons Stephen Spencer (full-term still born baby) and Steven Don Spencer; grandson Jacob Hamilton Spencer; brothers Daniel Brand, James Bernard Mackey Jr.; and sister Berna Seamans. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, November 22, 2016 at the Berg Drawing Room Chapel, 185 East Center Street, Provo, Utah. Friends may call from 9:30-10:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment, Timpanogos Memorial Gardens, Orem, Utah. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.bergmortuary.com.
