Eugenia Bruno Spencer ’60

Eugenia Bruno Spencer ’60, of Wakefield, R.I.; Mar. 4, after a short illness. She had been a social worker at the Health Center of South County in Wakefield, where she served the community for more than two decades before retiring in the early 2000s. After graduating from Brown, she married a naval officer and lived in the Panama Canal area and New York City before returning to Rhode Island. During that time, she developed an interest in dance, particularly classical ballet, modern dance, and choreography, which she then studied. For many years she enjoyed annual trips to see the New York City Ballet. As a reverend’s wife, she also shared in the ministry and mission of the church. She enjoyed cooking and gardening and was known for her tomatoes that she made sauce from and shared. During the Christmas season, family and friends enjoyed her cookies and eggnog. She is survived by two sons, two daughters, a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, four grandchildren, and a sister.
