Diane was a very special person! She was born on October 9th,1952 in Alabama and grew up primarily in Michigan.

She moved back to Alabama with her parents when they retired. It wasn’t long before Diane was introduced to Terry Sprulock. The two of them fell in love, got married and shared a caring, respectful, loving life with one another and their birds.

Diane had a gentle spirit and a heart full of kindness. She found happiness in watching movies, working puzzles, and, above all, caring for Terry and those she loved. She had a quiet way of making others feel special and was deeply devoted to her family. Her love knew no bounds, and she will be remembered for the compassion, warmth, and generosity she shared so freely with everyone she met. She was also a proud member of the Westmeade Baptist Church in Decatur.

Our love for Diane has no end. Her legacy of love, compassion, and kindness will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Terry Spurlock of Decatur, Alabama.
She is also survived by her siblings: Chuck and Sue Thomas of Michigan; Mary and Lanny Harrison of Texas; Larry and Jim Thomas of Michigan; and Betty Buckland and Tim Terry of Texas.
She is lovingly remembered by her nieces and nephews: Debbie...
