Obituary: On 10, 2016 Flossie Jean Spore left us and made her way to her eternal home with her Lord Jesus Christ and the Rainbow Bridge, the eternal home of animals waiting to be rejoined with their caretakers and owners. She was a beloved daughter, sister, and friend, not only of her parents, brother, relatives, and family, but to many others. Flossie had dedicated her later life as an advocate to animal care and control. We will all miss her but memories of her will continue to live in our hearts and lives.

Born to Sarah Emily and Donald Ray Spore on 3, 1958, on Schilling AFB, Salina, Kansas, she spent her early years traveling from one military assignment to another as her father served in the U. S. Air Force, one of them being Randolph AFB where he retired from and where she graduated from high school. While at RAFB High School she distinguished herself in choir and music. Flossie distinguished herself also as an athlete in track, setting records and winning many events.

She was named after her paternal grandmother Flossie Mae (Levings) Spore. Her namesake passed away when her son, Flossie's father was only 8 years old. Consequently, Flossie never had the opportunity to know her.

Returning to Universal City, she first worked for Dunkin' Donuts for the first 10 years. Then she found a career in animal control working in many capacities in the previous shelter and then advancing to the manager at the newer and current Animal and Control on Athenian Drive. As the manager, she worked closely with s for the less and her dedicated employees and volunteers to improve, enhance, and sustain quality care and control. She was instrumental along with s for the less, City Administration, and other supporters in bringing the current facility into being.
Flossie was a very talented musician and vocalist in country western and contemporary genres. She performed solo and with bands and groups in many venues--local, community, and state wide-as a resident of Universal City.

Nearly three years ago, she was diagnosed with lung cancer and faced it head on, never giving up, while still promoting and advancing animal care and control in Universal City and the neighboring communities. On , 10, 2016, the battle with cancer ended, but those who knew and loved Flossie also know she will always continue her advocacy for animals.

On May 3, 1980 a tragic car crash claimed the life of her brother Carl Ray, then only 18. She is survived by her parents, Ponca City, Oklahoma, brother Ritchard Spore and wife Briska, Ponca City, and many nephews, nieces, and relatives.

A Celebration of Life is being held at the Universal City Hall, 2150 Universal City Boulevard from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, , 12, 2016. Visitation is on , 13, 2016, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Colonial , 625 Kitty Hawk Road, Universal City, Texas 78148. Her final services and burial will be in Ponca City, Oklahoma. She will be buried alongside of her brother, Carl Ray, in Ponca City at the Oddfellows , the same cemetery where her namesake, her grandmother, is interred along with her grandfather. Her great grandparents and an aunt are also interred in this cemetery. Flossie will not be alone on her way to her final resting place. Many of her own inurned pets are already nestled in with her.

In lieu of flowers, the family recommends donations to s for less, Universal City's non-profit partner with its Animal and Control Facility.

The Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting heaven and earth and it is called
the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
On the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, there is a land of
meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies the pet goes to this place. There is
always food, water, and warm spring weather.
The old and frail animals are made young again. Those who are
maimed are made whole again.
play all day long with each other.

There is only one thing missing. are not with their special
person who loved them on earth.
So, each day, they ran and play until the day comes when
suddenly, one stops playing and looks up.
The nose twitches, the ears perk up, the eyes are staring!
Suddenly they run from the group!
You have been seen and when you and your special friend meet
you take him or her in your arms and embrace!
Your face is kissed again and again and you look once more into
the eyes of your trusting friend.

Then . . . you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be
separated.

Obituary: Martha Louise Spoor, Child of God, died peacefully at home on May 6, 2008, following a five-year battle against breast cancer. She was only 39 years old and had so much more living to do and many more lives to touch. Martha was born on 11, 1969 in San Antonio, Texas. A lifelong resident of San Antonio, Martha attended the Alamo Heights schools Howard Elementary, Alamo Heights Junior School and Alamo Heights High School, graduating with high honors in 1987. She attended Davidson in Davidson, NC and earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, with the Class of 1992. Following graduation, she returned to San Antonio and received her Master of Arts in Teaching Degree from Trinity University in 1994. Marthas greatest passion was teaching, and for almost fourteen years she fulfilled her long-held dream as an English teacher at her beloved Alamo Heights Junior School. Above all others, her favorite assignment was to teach sixth grade Pre-AP/Gifted and Talented English students, inspiring and encouraging them, especially in their writing skills. She loved her students as if they were her own children and always believed in their abilities to do better work than they thought they could. Martha was determined to teach as long as she was physically able, deriving strength from her precious students. She enjoyed the sense of family created by her colleagues, the students and their parents and thrived on being a part of it. The most painful and courageous decision of her life was to retire from the classroom because she could no longer fulfill her own high expectations. While her physical presence was taken from us too soon, Marthas bright spirit will live on in the hearts and minds of those who knew and loved her. She was passionate about everything that caught her fancy and rarely entered into any project without her whole heart. She was generous to the extreme and derived great pleasure from selecting and giving gifts to family, friends and colleagues. Martha was a stickler for proper grammar usage and correct spelling, often offering unsolicited guidance to those who erred. She enjoyed physical activity, especially working out at the gym and playing ping pong, but also had fun watching sporting events on TV. She loved to bake, play Trivial Pursuit, and listen to an eclectic variety of music on her iPod. Martha was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend. She is survived by her parents, David and Louise Tookie Parrish Spoor of San Antonio, TX; brother Stephen and his wife Jodi, niece Emma and niece and godchild Eileen, all of Boerne, TX; sister Susan of Carrollton, TX; uncles and aunts Jack and Patty Parrish Hurt of Houston, TX and Dan and Janice Bourdon Spoor of Georgetown, TX; godparents Dan and Molly Webster of San Antonio, TX and the Honorable Sam Sparks of Austin, TX; and numerous cousins. She is also survived by her beloved kitties, Cinnamon and Callie. She was preceded in death by her grandparents Harry and Mildred Merrill Spoor of Houston, TX and Ray and Etna Grannie Stolz Parrish of Galveston, TX; aunt Patricia Spoor Carroll of Fredericksburg, TX; cousins Leslie Anne Spoor of Honolulu, HI and Zachary Owen Bueker of Pittsboro, NC; and other godmother Arden Reed Sparks of El Paso, TX. Numerous special people filled important roles in Marthas life. The Spoor family especially wishes to acknowledge the late Miss Leatha Mills, who loved Martha like her own, and Luz MariaYutani, whose loving presence continues to bring quiet comfort into our home. Marthas family would like to express sincere appreciation to all of Marthas many doctors and nurses, especially to Dr. Richard Ferguson and the staff of Bethany Hospice, for their compassionate care. would also like to thank the administration, faculty, and staff of the Alamo Heights Independent School District, along with Marthas students and their parents, for their loving support and understanding throughout her illness. A Celebration of Life service will be held at 10:30 AM on , May 17, 2008 at Christ Episcopal Church, 510 Belknap Place, San Antonio, TX, with the Rev. John Barrett and the Rev. Julia Boyd Mitchener of St. Pauls Episcopal Church, Winston-Salem, NC, officiating. A reception will follow in the Parish Hall. It was Marthas desire to be cremated, with her ashes scattered by her loving family at a later date. At Marthas request, in lieu of flowers, memorial remembrances may be made to The Martha Spoor Young Writers Fund, c/o The Alamo Heights School Foundation, 7101 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78209.
