Ms. Jamie Sue Spencer

In Loving Memory Of; Jamie Sue Spencer aka "Jack" was born to the union of Guy and Bonnie Dalton in Toccoa, Georgia on August 28, 1924. The family eventually moved to Royston, Georgia where Jamie helped her dad and oldest brother, Nathaniel on the farm before going to school. Sundays were spent with her mom at church services where she accepted Christ in her early years as a devout Baptist for life. Upon graduating from high school in Royston, she set out for Atlanta at age 16. Having an older sister already there gave her parents some relief in letting her go, as there was no stopping Jamie now. Arriving in Atlanta she found a room for rent in a boarding house. Looking for work she found a job at Bell Aircraft in Marietta where she was a Rosie the Riveter until the end of the war, at that time the men returned from war and Jamie was laid off. One of those returning men, Ralph Render, was to marry her and she became Jamie S. Render. They continued to live in Atlanta as he taught Radar at Warner-Robbins A.F.B. until moving to California. Jamie didn't want to go to California and decided to follow her family to Detroit, Michigan in 1952. Arriving in Detroit at that time was during a recession, work was scarce even for a woman with her abilities. At this time she had her four children to think about, so she did day work to help raise them. Jamie put Eddie in school while the rest stayed with their grandmother until she got home. Like her mother, she found a church for us every Sunday, even attending church with her mother some Sundays and having the best Sunday dinners. Jamie like her mother Bonnie was an excellent cook, she worked as a cook for many years in some of Detroit's finest restaurants. Jamie was the most sacrificing person you would get to know, it was never about her, it was always about her children and her family. Needing a better life for her children, she married Joseph Spencer in 1958 and to that union four children were born. His parents shared a fruitful relationship with all the children. Jamie and Joseph eventually divorced and she returned to work. Soon after she made life better for her children by moving to a new home where she resided until her passing. Having said so much we would like to finish by saying "She was the most awesome mom in the world!"
