Reynold "Spunk" Gregory

Mr. Reynold “Spunk” Gregory, 87, of Alma, passed away Tuesday morning, April 4, 2023, at his son’s fiancé’s residence. 

Born in Hoschton, GA on September 13, 1935, he lived in Bacon County most of his life.  Spunk had been a farmer all his life and had a knack for working on engines.  He was a great husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend.  He never received much in the way of a formal education, but life taught him many lessons.  He was wise beyond his years and when he spoke it was wise to listen.  Everyone who knew him can recall many stories of how strong and capable a man he was.  He faced each new day and every challenge head on, never giving up.  Spunk’s strength, love, and wisdom will live on in everyone’s hearts.

He was a son of the late Sherman T. & Cennie Mae Bell Gregory.  He was also preceded in death by his wife, Bobbie Jean Mathis Gregory; three sisters, Ivylyn Gove, Sue Eberhart, and Martha Gove-Vile; and three brothers, Wady Gregory, Lavern Gregory, and Donald Gregory.

Survivors include his son and his fiancé, Ronnie Williford and Waunee Winchester of Alma; two sisters, Marion Hayes of Hoschton and Alice Ann Gregory of Columbia, TN; a brother, Darrell Gregory of Jacksonville, FL; nieces and nephews, Brandon, April, Connie, and Brandy; his pet cats, Princess, Tom, Friendly, and Gray; a close friend, Dixie of Alma; his new friends at Hospice Satilla who took the best care of him; and several other relatives and friends.

Graveside services for Spunk will be held Friday afternoon, April 7, 2023, at 2 o’clock from the Lee’s Chapel Cemetery in Alma.

The family will receive friends at the cemetery one hour prior to the service.
