Billy Joe Spence

Billy Joe Spence, 59, of Kinston, passed away on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at Harmony Hall. He was preceded in death by his parents, Milton Spence and Hilda Ferrington Spence, and sister, Shirley Gardner.

Billy was a great father, brother, and friend. He was the owner/operator of Spence Upholstery for over 25 years. He enjoyed fishing, trips to the beach, and all things Batman.
