Bessie M Sprinkle

Bess Sprinkle passed peacefully on August 7, at the age of 101, having survived her husband, Walter, by eight months. Bessie was a devoted mother and spouse, who spent many years assisting others after her children were grown. She is survived by her three children: Stephen (Marcella), Lana (Paul) and Ron (Ashley). She is also survived by four grandchildren: Kristen (Eric), Matthew (Tatum), Sam (Rebekah) and Rachel, and one great-grand child (Zoey). Visitation, a service, and burial will occur on Saturday, September 7, at the Columbarium at Southern Cremations and Funerals, 1861 Dallas Highway SW, Marietta, GA 30064 (770-919-7100). Visitation will start at 1:00 p.m., then a Catholic Funeral Service at 2:00 p.m., followed by her burial, which is on property. Please join our family at Lana and Paul’s home from 4 to 6 p.m. for refreshments afterwards. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Operation Smile (operationsmile.org) which was one of Bess’ favorite charities. It provides free cleft pallet surgery to children all over the world.
