Della Jean (Spivey) Austin, a lifelong resident of Randolph County, North Carolina, passed away peacefully, surrounded by love. Her obituary, lovingly crafted, reflects a life filled with joy, family, and a deep connection to her community. Loflin Funeral Home & Cremation Service in Ramseur is handling the arrangements.
Della Jean found happiness in simple pleasures: food, nature, and animals. Her career in healthcare allowed her to build lasting relationships and touch countless lives. Her dedication to her family, including her husband Jason of 26 years and sons Blake and Jackson, was evident in every adventure they shared, from “Tour de Water” trips on the Intracoastal Waterway to outings in the mountains and at the beach. Her obituary paints a picture of a vibrant life filled with muddy clothes, missing socks, and the boundless energy of raising two boys and a farmer husband.
She is survived by her loving father, Dale Spivey (wife Denise), her in-laws Ken and Dawn Austin, her brother Jonathan Spivey (wife Alesha and nephews Thaddeus and Huxley), and sister-in-law Kasey Wood (and nephews and nieces Emma, Riley, Kason, and Ava). Her spirit and memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
A memorial service celebrating Della Jean’s life will be held at Hylton Farm, located at 2324 Providence Church Road, Pleasant Garden, NC 27313, on February 25, 2025, at 6 pm. The family requests attendees wear joyful colors and dress casually, in keeping with Della Jean’s vibrant spirit. In her own words, “I’ll bring the ‘snack packs’!”
