Because of their youth and immaturity, "Jean's" marriage to William Spradley, Sr., at a very young age was predicted to fail, but it survived fifty-nine years until his death in 1999. God provided them with three wonderful children, Bill, Jr., Betina and Bruce. She proudly claims that among her children and grandchildren a great deal of talent exists! Eugenia lives near Savannah, Georgia, close to her much-loved younger brother and wife, many nieces and nephews, and her church family and friends.
