Floyd Samuel Spidle, 89, of Cameron, MO, passed away June 17, 2019 at the Laurel of Norterre, Liberty, MO, of complications due to dementia. He was born July 14, 1929 in Breckenridge, MO, to the late Samuel Sampson Spidle and Ruby (Suter) Spidle.
Floyd married Rosita June Bisbee on July 4, 1948 in Excelsior Springs, MO. They lived most of their 71 years together in Cameron, MO, where they raised four children, plus many foster children and foreign exchange students, while managing a grade A dairy farm. He held many positions with the railroad prior to farming. He earned an Associate Degree in Horticulture at age 55 while living in Arlington, TX, and became a landscaping architect for the Worthington Hotel.
