Coach” Spencer DuWayne Willard, 79, ended his hard-fought battle with cancer on Friday, Aug. 5, 2022. Born on Aug. 29, 1942, in Kernersville, ...

That journey culminated on the farm at Longleaf Lodge in Hoffman. Spencer and Nancy in partnership with daughter Beth and her family, brought a serene and welcoming sanctuary into existence. In every aspect of life, he was a teacher, and modeled a lifelong love of learning. Most recently teaching Sunday School at Fletcher’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Hoffman, where he was a member. Those life lessons were not confined to the classroom but spilled into the farm fields across Scotland County, as Spencer employed hundreds of SHS students for his summer corn detasseling and watermelon harvesting business. Spencer’s love of learning was not limited to those hobbies. He loved his Tar Heels and spent time each day reading sports news on Carolina websites.
