Together they shared the best of life, including the birth of their children, Clinton Eddie and Shana Leigh. Eddie was a professional carpet installer. In 1987, Eddie and Marnell opened Spencer’s Carpet and Tile, enjoying the many customers and friends they met. He retired in 2014 due to his illness.
