Kimberly "Kim" Spencer

Kimberly "Kim" Allan Spencer, 67, of Lyons, Indiana, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at IU Health Bloomington Hospital. Born January 7, 1959, in Conneaut, Ohio, Kim was the beloved son of Robert and Marlene (Whelpley) Spencer. Kim lived a life defined by service, hard work, and the many ways he showed up for the people around him. After graduating from Conneaut High School, he proudly joined the United States Navy, serving his country from 1977 until 1996. His military career stretched the world from Japan, Italy, and state side, eventually bringing him to southern Indiana, where he completed his final duties at the NSWC Detachment at Crane. To those who knew him best, Kim was someone who could fix, build, repair, or figure out nearly anything. A gifted woodworker, carpenter, builder, and electronics electrician, he earned the title of a true "Jack of All Trades." He took pride in working with his hands and in using his talents to help others - often finding a solution when no one else could. Kim also found great joy in bowling and in the friendships built around the lanes. From 1996 to 2016, he owned and operated the Strike Zone Bowling Center in Loogootee, creating a place where friends, families, and community members could gather, laugh, compete, and make lasting memories. His love for bowling was only matched by his appreciation for the people who shared it with him. He was a faithful member of the Odon Church of the Nazarene and was also involved with the Loogootee American Legion and the Shoals Eagles Lodge. Kim valued fellowship, service, and the sense of belonging he found within his church and community. Above all, Kim loved his family. He is survived by his devoted wife of more than 47 years, Barbara Jean (Davis) Spencer; his sons, Patrick (Janice) Spencer and Matthew (Heather) Spencer; his grandchildren, Christopher Spencer and Christena Spencer; and his siblings, Robert Spencer, Thomas Spencer, Michael Spencer, and Melissa Spencer. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Marlene Spencer. Kim will be remembered for his steady presence, his resourceful hands, his dedication to his country and community, and the love he gave to his family. His life touched many, and the lessons, laughter, and memories he leaves behind will continue to be treasured by all who knew him. A service to celebrate Kim's life will be held at the Odon Church of the Nazarene at a later date. Arrangements are in care of Welch & Cornett Funeral Home in Linton, of Walton Funeral Service. Online condolences may be shared at www.welchcornett.com.
