Jennie and Leonard Spacht were great friends and encouragers throughout the years whenever we saw them. At the time when we were preparing for training to enter the ministry, they were invaluably used by God lending their helpful wisdom. What a role model Jennie was of a loving pastor's wife!
I just learned of Jennie's passing this morning. Jennie and my Mother, Virginia Fry, were lifelong friends. I can't be certain, but I suspect that their friendship developed as members of the Buckland High School women's basketball team back in the 1930's. My Mother passed six years ago. Clearly Jennie lived a wonderful and caring life and is in a better place now. My condolences to her children and family members. Bob Fry 4/28/2018
