Cynthia Ann Spencer, affectionately known as "Big Lou," daughter of the late Charles and Sophie Spraggs, was born on May 22, 1957, in Brooklyn, New York. She departed this life on August 31, 2026, and gained her
heavenly wings. Cindy was educated in the Prince Edward County Public School System. She attended Mercy Seat Baptist Church, where she confessed her love for the Lord and accepted
Him as her personal Savior at an early age. Cindy worked as a private housekeeper and in the cafeteria at Central Middle School in Charlotte County, VA where she truly was in her element. She loved to cook, and her fried chicken, potato salad, and pasta salad were
second to none. Cindy was preceded in death by her husband and the love of her life, Carl E. Spencer; son- in-law, Simon Bryant; brothers, Charles, Curt, Curtis, and David Spraggs; and sisters, Jacqueline Williams and Gwendolyn Spraggs-
