To the family of Benita Spellman... what a precious person she was. I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family! I got to know Benita and Bud as foster parents. Lots of fun foster parenting events and planning events for the kids. She loved all of her kids and did everything she could to make their lives much better. Benita and Bud also became very good friends with my parents James and Daisy Sutton while attending Maranatha Church ...my dad helped start and run the Water Street Mission and they became regular volunteers...They had a wonderful marital relationship...never left each others side...Benita loved the Lord with all her heart and always reached out to others...even by sending a card of encouragement. She will always be that special kind of friend...and will be missed dearly! Blessings Linda K Wolfe.

Benita was and will always be in my heart and I am a better person because of my friendship with her and her precious husband Bud. They were a team for Jesus and many lives have been changed because of their ministries through out the years. I loved being in their Sunday School Class that grew to about 45 people at New Beginnings Church of God. I am heart broken for her precious family that she dearly loved. I know she will be missed. I know she was loved. I know she is so HAPPY to be with Jesus and her loved ones who went before her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. May you feel Gods Love and Peace and carry on holding onto your precious memories. Love you all. Laura Ekiss

Mother, I always thought you would outlive us all, what a shock to get the news Sunday. I remember all your trips to Arizona and how pleased you were when we bought that duplex where you had your own apartment right next to ours. The trip to Tombstone where we took that great picture of me and Dean, you, Bud and Dad, looking like desperados. You were the only one smiling-lol- the rest of us looked rough. Right before the man snapped our pic I had exclaimed "Let's all look like desperados!" The trip to Reata Pass steakhouse where Bud ordered rattlesnake for dinner! We had such great times. You are missed, Mother, but able to leave this world for a world with Jesus Christ. You always hoped for the rapture to come soon. I love you Mom.

To the family our deepest sympathy. Benita will be missed we went to New Beginnings Church where we met Benita and Bud. Was in their Sunday school class, and became closer with Benita even more after Bud;s passing. We helped her with things when she needed it.She was a special child of God. She always was smiling. Would always pray for us and so many other.She had a strong faith and loved her Lord Jesus Christ who she clung to with the passing of family she loved. One of her favorite scriptures she told me she liked was Be still and know that I am God. She wanted to make sure people know God and for them to be saved. She loved her Lord her family,her friends and her animals.We will miss you Benita until we meet again in Heaven. So sorry for your loss of a special and precious woman.With love, thoughts and prayers. Scott and Darla Lawrence.

Bud and Benita came to Pray with me while I had back surgery many years ago. I’ve never forgot the comfort it brought me. They were amazing people. I am so glad she is in Heaven surrounded by loved ones so dear. You were such a special lady. I’m Blessed to have known you. Forever friends. Love, Crystal Rentfro
