Mary Sprague's Obituary
Mary (Wilson) Sprague, 72, of Gettysburg, passed away Friday, January 28, 2011 at Golden Living Center, Gettysburg. She was the loving wife of Roger L. Sprague, her husband of 54 years.
Born March 2, 1938 in Letchworth, England, she was the daughter the late William and Alice (Lovette) Wilson.
Mrs. Sprague met her husband while he was serving in the US Air Force and stationed at Chicksands RAF base. After their marriage, the couple ultimately settled in the United States. For many years, they owned and operated Apple Way Farm, the family dairy farm. Later, the couple owned Century 21 Neighborhood Realty in Gettysburg.
Mary found much joy in raising and caring for her family. An avid crafter and quilter, she was member of the Adams County Homemakers Club. Mary also actively participated for years in the Adams County Extension Agency and reached many in the community through speaking on how to live well with Rheumatoid Arthritis. In recent years, Mrs. Sprague loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
Surviving, in addition to her husband, are two daughters, Karen Smyth and her husband William of Dale City, VA, and Debbie Moreton of Frisco, TX; two grandchildren, Jason Smyth and Samantha Smyth, both of Blacksburg, VA; and one sister; Jan Drake of Letchworth, England.
She was predeceased by a son, Guy Roger Sprague; and a sister, Devina Langham.
A service celebrating the life of Mary will be held 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, February 1 at the Peters Funeral Home, 321 Carlisle Street, Gettysburg, with Chaplain Sally E. Daminger officiating. The family will receive friends between 6 and 8 p.m. Monday at the funeral home. A second opportunity to visit with her family will begin 10:00 a.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. Burial will be in Fairview Cemetery in Arendtsville.
For those desiring, contributions may be made in Mrs. Sprague's memory to the American Diabetes Association, 3544 N. Progress Ave., Suite 101, Harrisburg, PA 17110 or the Arthritis Foundation of Central Pennsylvania, 3544 North Progress Ave., Suite 204, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
