Larry Ray Spangler, Sr., the son of Lester Louis and Mary Bell (Wheatley) Spangler, was born on June 1, 1936 in Pleasant Hill, Missouri. He passed away on August 17, 2007 Ellett Memorial Hospital at the age of 71 years.

Larry grew up in the Pleasant Hill and Harrisonville areas and early in his life moved to North Kansas City where he worked as a funeral director for D.W. Newcomer Sons for 17 years. Later he worked as an over the road truck driver for 14 years and his last 8 years were spent working as a custodian for Appleton City High School.

Larry was united in marriage to Brenda Woodall on November 22, 1963 at the First Baptist Church in North Kansas City, Missouri. To this union of 43 years four children were born.

He was a member of the First Christian Church in Appleton City. Larry was always very proud of the 17 years he spent working as a funeral director and truly enjoyed his employment as custodian for Appleton City High School.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents and brother Donald. He is survived by his wife Brenda, of the home, two sons, Larry Jr. of Butler, Missouri and Michael of St. James, Missouri, two daughters, Tammy Rindom of Springfield, Missouri and Annie Johnson of Appleton City, two brothers, Paul of Harrisonville, Missouri and William of Clinton, Missouri, two sisters, Effie Hill of Appleton City and Eulalia Lee of Fort Worth, Texas, ten grandchildren and one great granddaughter.

Larry was a loving husband and father and shared a special love with his grandchildren. He enjoyed woodcarving and the time he spent with co-workers at school. He will be sadly missed by his family, friends and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
