Elena "Spencer" Estes

Elena "Spencer" Estes, age 59, of Magnolia, Arkansas passed away on Wednesday, January 3, 2024 at The Cottages at Wentworth Place in Magnolia, AR.

 

Spencer was born on February 6, 1964 to Ambrose and Elena Cassino Estes in El Dorado, AR.

 

Spencer was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Linda Carrington.

 

Prior to moving into Wentworth Place, Spencer lived most of her adult life at the Columbia County Independent Living Center in Magnolia where she developed lasting friendships with the other residents and the staff and caregivers.    While living at CCILC, Spencer attended Magnolia Specialized Services to develop life skills that helped her live an independent life.    Over those years she had a very fruitful life that included many friends and staff that cared for her and loved her dearly.   Our family is eternally grateful to the staff of Columbia County Independent Living Center, Magnolia Specialized Services, and Wentworth Place for the care and the love that they showered on Spencer and how they guided her through her adult life.

 

Survivors are a brother, Ambrose "Bo" Estes (Shelley) of Dallas, TX; nieces and nephews, Flinn Carrington (Haideh) and son Brooks of Richardson, Tx.; Foster Estes (Kenley) and children Asher and Jonah of Richardson, Tx.; Marshall Estes (Shannon) and children Fischer, Reed, Louise and Elizabeth of Dallas, Tx.;  Hunter Estes of Dallas, and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

 

Graveside services by Young's Funeral Directors will be at Arlington Memorial Park at 11:30 a.m. Friday, January 26, 2024 with Father Charles Chapman officiating.
