It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Mrs. Edith Iola Prunty Spencer, an extraordinary woman whose life and legacy are woven into the very fabric of the Gloria Coles Flint Public Library. Mrs. Spencer began her career here at the Library in 1951 and went on to serve as Head of Adult Services, dedicating decades of unwavering service to advancing literacy, learning, and opportunity for all. Her work was not just a profession; it was a mission. She helped shape the Library into a place of empowerment, inclusion, and hope for generations of Flint residents.
Beyond the walls of the Library, Mrs. Spencer was a steadfast pillar in our civic life. Through her leadership, advocacy, and generous spirit, she championed causes that uplifted the entire community. As an avid supporter, her impact endures in the programs and services we continue to build in her honor.
We invite you to take a moment to pause and reflect on her legacy the next time you walk past the Edith Prunty Spencer Room. It is more than just a name. It is a living tribute to her vision, compassion, and tireless commitment to Flint.
