Anna Marie Spurgeon, 71, born December 5, 1951, in Star, New York, has been received by her heavenly Father on May 23, 2023, surrounded by her family.

3 Jun 2023My sincerest sympathy with the passing of your beloved wife and mother. “Annie” and I were close friends at G. Ray Bodley High School in Fulton, in the mid-60’s. Spent many times at her home and going to the Pizza Parlor just a few doors down from her home. We share a lot of laughs and fun memories. Am so happy she is residing with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in her Heavenly Home. May God’s grace and comfort be with you at this difficult time. Wendell Howard
