Spencer Martell Dwiggins
January 10, 1942 - August 28, 2021
---Spencer Martell Dwiggins of Macon, Macon County, Missouri passed away on August 28th, 2021 surrounded by his family. Spencer was born January 10, 1942 in Alton, Madison County, Illinois, the oldest son of Chester Frances Dwiggins and Elizabeth Kathryn Nicholson Dwiggins.
---Spencer began grade school at Smelzer Lake School near West Alton, Missouri. In 1951 his parents purchased and moved to a farm at Wilcox, Missouri which is near Maryville . Spencer attended school in Maryville and shared many memories of helping his Father on the farm and life-long friendships made in Northwest Missouri. In 1959, his family relocated to Bevier, Missouri and purchased a business that was known as Dwiggins' Gift Shop and Restaurant.
---In 1961 he married Marsha Gwyneeth Hendershot of Atlanta and they had two children, Jon Spencer and Latisha Gwyneeth Dwiggins.
---Like his father Chester, Spencer was a businessman and entrepreneur. He owned and operated several businesses over a 60-year period in the Macon area. Spencer enjoyed working for himself and was never afraid to try something new. He was always looking for the next idea that would make money. In the early 1960s Spencer started Dwiggins Construction Company. He built numerous homes in the Macon area over the next 20 years, in the Englewood and Twingates subdivisions. When homebuilding slowed in the late 1970s, he transitioned to underground utility work doing sewer and water mains as well as high pressure gas main construction. In the late 1970s he purchased Mac's Carwash and operated it for 10 years. During the carwash years, he saw a need for a wholesale ice supplier in the area. He opened and operated Mac's Icehouse, providing wholesale ice to grocery and convenience stores as well as restaurants around the area. Spencer was gifted in his ability to design and fabricate equipment and tools relative to his latest mechanical undertaking.
---In 1992 Spencer married his soulmate, Betty Edwards of Macon . Betty brought two sons, Bobby and Billy Edwards, to the family. Spence enjoyed sharing his talents and had a special relationship with Billy. Betty and Spencer had 33 great years together. They worked side-by-side and were rarely apart. Many weekends they could be found out having dinner together with friends or at one of the local dance halls dancing the 2-step.
---In 1996 Spencer and Betty opened Hometown Family Pets, a business raising puppies for family pets. Over the next 20 years they grew the business into one of the most ethical, best run, pet businesses in the state of Missouri. Spencer and Betty were always adamant about ensuring that their dogs were well taken care of and went to good homes. They sold dogs to families locally as well as pet stores as far away as New York. They worked with numerous pet breeders, brokering their puppies and helping them to be better, ethical, breeders. Spencer and Betty retired from the dog business in 2016 and then invested in several rental properties in the Macon community, providing good quality rentals to folks needing a place to live.
---Some of the highlights of Spencer's life was attending auctioneers school in St. Louis, learning to do something he had wanted to do ever since he was a young man. Spencer disappeared two weeks to go to auction school not telling any of his family members. The only person who knew was Betty. Everyone was very surprised when he came home an auctioneer.
---In 1992 Spencer looked for and found his grandfather John Walker Dwiggins', 1929 AA Ford truck. It had sold at his grandfather's estate sale nearly 40 years before in West Alton, Missouri. He purchased it and brought it home and worked on restoring it over the next 20 years. He also located and purchased his other grandfather, John Waldrip Nicholson's 1932 Case tractor. Over the years he restored several antique tractors and collected and restored many pedal and toy tractors.
---Spencer was involved in community activities. He was a longtime member Macon Jaycees, serving a term as the club president. He served for a short period of time as a reserve deputy for the Macon County Sheriff's office. He was a member of the Macon United Methodist Church, serving as a board member. The last few years he was a member of the Bethlehem United Methodist Church in Anabel.
---Spencer loved John Deere tractors and old antique farm machinery. He loved to dance, go to auctions, garage sales and swap meets. He loved attending the annual Macon County Flywheel and the Midwest Old Threshers shows. Most mornings would find him at Marshell's Café in Macon drinking coffee with friends and acquaintances. Afternoons would find him at Charlie Burkhardt's auction barn, holding court and visiting about the latest gossip.
---Spencer was strong willed and direct in his opinion; he did not suffer fools. He had very little time for people who would not help themselves but If he believed you to be a person who was working hard trying to better themselves, he could be very generous in his assistance.
---Spencer leaves behind his wife Betty, children Jon and Darla Sims Dwiggins of Macon, Tish Dwiggins of Columbia, Billy and Sarah Henry Tubbs Edwards of Macon, Bobby and Laura Pagliai Edwards of Bevier and Kirby Crawford. Grandchildren Caleb Ross and Amy Wilson Dwiggins of Macon, Zachary Christian and Sarah Herndon Dwiggins of St. Martins, John Patrick Ryan "Jack" Dwiggins of Fenton, Reece Andrew Dwiggins of Springfield, Lee and Justina Reed Edwards, Reid Edwards, Ceianna Rose Edwards and fiancée Dylan Hernandez, Justin and Allie Armstrong Tubbs, all of Bevier, Kerri Tubbs and Chaise Waite of Atlanta and Alyssa Edwards. Great grandchildren Wilson, Ian, Henry, and Nathan Dwiggins, Blakely and Brayson Edwards, Brantley and Kinsey Tubbs.
---He is also survived by his siblings, Clayton Chester Dwiggins of Buffalo New York, Rebecca Elizabeth Day and her husband Bob of Florida, Neal Oliver Dwiggins and friend Bev Pifer of Columbia, Jayne Ellen Carrington Walker and husband Mark of Macon, numerous nieces, nephews, friends, and acquaintances and his two brothers in spirit, Warner Matheney and John Ellis.
---He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents John Waldrip and Florence Blattner Nicholson, John Walker and Josephine Minter Dwiggins, and a grandson Ian Joseph Dwiggins. In-laws, Don and Doris Herington, and sisters-in-law Marsha Herington Brower and Crystal Stirton Dwiggins.
---Spencer succumbed to the ravages of dementia, but never dwelled on his disease or the road ahead for him. He was proud of his family and grateful the Dwiggins name would live on through his many grandsons. In the months preceding his death he told many friends and relatives "I'm okay. If I die tomorrow, I've lived a great life."
---Funeral services will be 1:00 pm, Wednesday, September 1, 2021, at the Hutton & McElwain Funeral Home in Macon. Burial will be in the Richardsdale Cemetery in Bevier. Visitation will be from 5-7 pm, Tuesday evening, at the funeral home. Memorials are suggested to the Bethlehem United Methodist Church.
