Dortha's Story
Life
Hello Dear Friends,
My name is Dortha Mae (WILSON) Spurgeon.....you may remember me as Dorothy...I was born in Malvern, Arkansas and attended Malvern High School for my grades 1 through 6, my family moved to Wilmington, California in 1937 and I attended Banning High School in Wilmington for my grades 7 through 12....I graduated with our 1943 class and I soon married my sweetheart Ray Spurgeon before he went overseas as a soldier in the infantry...It was a miracle he came home from Germany.
My occupation has been in the Secretarial field and mostly in Accounting. I have enjoyed church work and studying God's Word!
Ray and I had 2 lovely daughters...we now have 5 grandsons,1 granddaughter,3 greats. In 1996 our Lord wanted to take my Ray home to be with Him...Life has not been the same without him, but I am so thankful to have a wonderful family whom I love to prepare large dinners for on special occasions. Our family has many wonderful memories through the 53 years Ray and I were married.
I now travel occasionally to Colorado to visit my one daughter and her family there....My other daughter lives here in Redding,CA near me....It took several years for ...Expand for more
Redding to feel like HOME but it is now Home Sweet Home for me. I enjoy church activities...and enjoy communicating with my family by e-mail now.....Redding is a beautiful area to live in and we have beautiful Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen nearby....now we have that gorgeous new Sundial Bridge over the Sacramento River that will draw many visitors to our area.
I hope to renew friendships with some classmates and find out what you are doing......I enjoy life and love to bring happiness to others. Would love to hear from you anytime.
Very Sincerely,
Dortha Mae Spurgeon
