Erma Louise Spradling

Erma Louise Spradling was born October 21, 1922, in Girard, Texas. Her parents were Tom & Lucille (Sherer) Wilson. She had lived in Madisonville since 1964, coming from Waco. Erma enjoyed sewing and gardening and was a homemaker her whole life. Her innate sense of caregiving extended to all of her family members. In a loved one’s time of need, she would stop everything she was doing in order to be available to care for that person—whatever their need may be.

Erma was a member of the First Baptist Church in Madisonville and enjoyed reading her bible often. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star in Madisonville.

Erma passed away March 9, 2018 in Houston, Texas. She was preceded in death by both of her parents; husband, Donald Spradling; sisters, Bertie Boland & Emma France and brother, Billy Lew Wilson.
