						Obituary
						
						
						
						Ellen “Eileen” Spencer (Nee Fox), age 70, whose 
						life was defined by her love of family, faith and 
						friends passed away from Covid-19 on Tuesday, April 14, 
						2020, at St. Luke’s Hospital in Newburgh NY. 
						
						
						
						She was born December 2,1949, in the Bronx NY, to James 
						“Jim” and Mary Fox. She was a graduate of St. Pius High 
						School. She married John Francis Spencer III (Jack) on 
						June 14, 1975, in St. Nicholas of Tolentine. She worked 
						as a principal’s assistant in the East Ramapo School 
						District. Ellen truly lived life to the fullest through 
						simple pleasures; chatting with family and friends, 
						reading, attending Broadway musicals and Mass at both 
						St. Anthony’s in Nanuet and St. Rosalie’s in the Hampton 
						Bays. She also loved every minute she spent with her 
						sons and cherished her role as Momma “Jack” with her 
						three grandchildren. Ellen always put everyone else 
						first and had an uncanny ability to strike up a 
						conversation with all. Ellen was one of the kindest 
						people you ever could meet. 
						
						
						
						She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Jack, sons 
						John Francis IV (Jennifer), James (Alison), Kevin 
						(Katherine), her granddaughters, Emilie and Jaimie, and 
						grandson, John Francis V. She is also survived by her 
						sister Ann (Patrick) Morgan, sister in law Cathy 
						(Frederick) Revis, as well as many nieces, nephews, and 
						cousins. In lieu of flowers donations be made to 
						Shriners Hospitals for Children. A memorial mass will be 
						held at a future date.
