Billie Jean (Boger) Spinks, age 84, of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, died Thursday, October 29, 2020. Billie was born November 7, 1935 in Statesville, N.C. to the late William and Mary Hollifield Boger. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by grandson, Tyler Morrissey.

She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Bert L Spinks; her son, Lee (Cindy) Spinks; daughter, Melinda (John) Morrissey; grandchildren, Micah (Robyn) Morrissey and Kate Morrissey; and great-grandchildren, Emmett and Margot Morrissey; and sisters, Christine Haynes and Frances Morrison; and a brother, Bob Boger.

Billie and Bert shared many great adventures and friendships moving from N.C. to S.C. to Indiana, and Kentucky before finally retiring to Murfreesboro in 2001 to be near their daughter and grandchildren.

Billie will be remembered for her kindness, her smile, her dancing, and her overwhelming love of Bert and her family. She reminded us to face each day with a smile and to reach out to others.

Memorials may be made to Alive Hospice Murfreesboro. The family would like to recognize the staff at the Villages of Murfreesboro Memory Care for their loving care and devotion to Billie. They also want to thank Jessica and Leah
