She was the pillar of her family, embodying the strength of a woman who faced life with honesty, courage, and unshakable resilience. To those who knew her, she will always be remembered as the perfect picture of a strong, independent woman who deeply loved her family.

Madelyn was preceded in death by her parents, all of her siblings, her husband’s Charles Spurlock and Joyce Lemmons, her grandson Scott Spurlock, her great-granddaughter Ashlynn Williams, and her son-in-law Don Zupka.

She is survived by her children: Michael Spurlock and his wife Dorothy of Arkansas; Shirley Zupka of Virginia; and David Spurlock and his wife Sheila of Temple, Texas.

Through her marriage to Joyce, she is also survived by a loving extended family, including Jayla Geick and her husband David, with children Heather and Sydney. Heather’s children are Kaytlynn, Rhyatt, and Rowdy, along with stepson Kasen. Sydney’s children are Maverick and Bently, along with stepchildren Malaya and Karter.
