Luann Marit (Stoddard) Spencer, age 80, passed away July 28, 2020, in Eugene, Oregon. Luann was born in 1940  to Jack and Nancy Stoddard.

She grew up in the Sheridan, Oregon, area, picking beans, hops and berries in her youth. She was a member of Rainbow Girls and Future Homemakers of America. She was a 1958 graduate of Willamina High School. In 1959, she married her high school sweetheart, Gerald Edward Spencer. They moved to Cottage Grove, then settled in Portland, where they raised three children. At retirement they moved to Crooked River Ranch to enjoy the sun.

She worked as a banker for US Bank for 24 years, retiring in 1995. Luann was a thoughtful, caring person, who never missed a birthday, Easter, or Valentine card. She enjoyed making baby blankets for all her friends and family. On her off time, Luann spent time with her family, sewing, working crossword puzzles, camping and walking the beach.
