Brown Funeral Home (Martinsburg WV) Obituary: Margaret Faye Spacek, 88, of Martinsburg, West Virginia passed away on September 28, 2012, after a period of declining health. Margaret, known affectionately to her family as "Bobbie" or "Bob", was born on January 23, 1924, the daughter of Louis Dillard and Mamie (Robinson) Buchanan of Gonzales, Texas. On May 8, 1942 Margaret eloped to marry her high school sweetheart Frank J. (F.J.) Spacek, Jr. while he was a student at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas. They remained sweethearts throughout their married life, celebrating their seventieth wedding anniversary in May 2012. While F.J.

They made their home at Chesapeake Beach, Maryland following F.J.'s retirement. After moving to Martinsburg in 1987, Margaret was an active member of Calvary United Methodist Church, and volunteered in the Berkeley County Senior Center, providing manicures for the Center's participants.
