Today we honor the life of Lily Spencer, a cherished soul who passed from this world in 2026, leaving behind a profound legacy of love and service. Lily was many things to many people — a devoted family member, a trusted friend, and a pillar of the Fort Worth community.

Those who knew Lily knew someone who led with their heart. They listened with patience, acted with grace, and always found a way to lift the spirits of those around them. Their home was a place of warmth and welcome, and their presence at any gathering was a gift in itself.

In the years ahead, we will carry Lily Spencer with us — in the values they instilled, in the laughter we shared, and in the quiet moments when we feel their spirit near. Goodbye, Lily. You were loved beyond measure, and you will never be forgotten.
