 Mr. Arland Glenn Spratt of the Mt. Carmel community in Taylor County passed from this life on Saturday, December 8, 2018. Born on October 18, 1926 to the late Ray and Annie (Skaggs) Spratt, he was 92 years, 1 month, and 20 days of age. Mr. Spratt had made a profession of faith in Christ and attended the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. He was a retired school bus driver for the Taylor County School System and a lifelong farmer. His passion, however, was spending quality time with his cherished bride, Mrs. Ruby (Rucker) Spratt, and together they had shared over 66 years of marriage before her passing in April 2017. It was a favorite pastime of both to RV camp, and they spent many an entire summer parked at Site 36 at Green River State Park, where they enjoyed watersports as much as lounging.
