Elizabeth Anne "Liz" (Taylor) Spencer

With broken hearts, the family of Elizabeth Anne "Liz" (Taylor) Spencer, age 62, of Kentville, announces her passing on Sunday, April 30, 2023 in the QEII – V.G. Site, Halifax, after a brief but courageous battle with Myeloma. Born in Kentville, she was a daughter of the late Ronald and Clara "Joyce" (Peck) Taylor.

Liz was an exceptional mother to her three girls and stayed home with them to ensure they had the best care and support as they grew up. Once her girls were grown, she worked at Kentville Publishing, and in retail at Canadian Tire, Alia and Tanjay. She most enjoyed spending time with her family, friends and her girls. She was always a welcome, safe place and was considered a ‘second mom’ to many. She found great joy in her grandchildren. Helping to look after them every chance she had, spoiling them, and supporting them in their many activities. Of all the roles she had, Nana was her favourite.

Liz will be deeply missed by her loving husband and partner of 47 years, Richard "Rick" Spencer; daughters, Melissa Spencer (Matt Turner), Port Williams; Megan (Robert) Shepherd, Black Rock; and Kaitlin Spencer (Andrew Harper), Kentville; siblings, Dana (Heather) Taylor, North Alton; and Ronda (Norman) Gee, Kentville; stepmother, Mary Taylor, Tupper Lake; grandchildren, Veda and Beckett Turner and Halle and Hunter Shepherd; great-niece, Emma Taylor, Wolfville; and many other nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. 

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Joy Taylor.

Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation by request. A celebration of Liz’s life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 11, 2023 in the White Family Funeral Home, Kentville, followed by a reception in Meadowview Community Hall, Meadowview.
