Joan Eleanor Spicer went to be with our Lord and Savior on October 5, 2021. She passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side. A loving mother and grandmother.
Joan was born in Dallas, Texas on May 23, 1931 to Seth and Avis Ford. She graduated from Forest High School and then earned an art scholarship to SMU. In her early years, Joan modeled and worked at an Advertising Agency. During that time, she was set up on a blind date with George Spicer. They fell in love and were married on May 27, 1954. In the 60+ wonderful years they were together they raised three children and lived full wonderful lives. Joan was involved in numerous philanthropies in Dallas and had many interests including tennis, real estate, traveling the world, and playing golf- where she once made a hole in one.
In their later years, Joan and George spent much of their retirement time at their beautiful ranch home in Durango, Colorado where they were again involved in the community, often hosting events and parties for their favorite organizations.
Joan was a member of Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church of Dallas and First Presbyterian Church of Durango. She was a devout follower of Christ and would read her favorite Christian books nearly every evening before bed. When she was no longer able to read, Joan watched religious programs every Sunday.
Joan is preceded in death by her parents, Seth and Avis Ford, sisters, Elaine Mathis, Maxine Good, Irma Reynolds and Carolyn West. Joan is survived by her three children, Samuel G. Spicer, Sally M. Pearson and Joanne E. Jordanou, grandsons Alexander Pearson, Dimitrios Jordanou and granddaughter Anna Marie Jordanou, son-in-laws Mike Pearson and Akis Jordanou and numerous nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be held on Monday October 11, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at Sparkman Hillcrest Funeral Home 7405 Northwest HWY Dallas. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to East West Ministries 2001 West Plano Parkway Suite 3000, Plano, Texas 75075 (eastwest.org). The family is planning a Celebration of Life Reception at their home in Durango, Colorado next summer. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Compassionate Hearts, especially to Ann, Tina, and Courtney for their love and care for mother
