Collins Alexander “Alex” Spivey, Jr., 85, passed away in Pawley’s Island, SC on April 17, 2024.
Alex was born June 20, 1938, in Conway SC to Collins Alexander Spivey, Sr. and Harriett Roddey Edwards. He became a proud Eagle Scout before attending The Citadel, where he graduated in 1960 as Band Company Commander. After graduation, he spent 3 years in the Air Force, then returned to Conway to work with his father, Collins Spivey, at Peoples National Bank. In 1972, he attended University of Virginia in Charlottesville where he earned his MBA at the Darden School, then continued his banking career in Augusta and Atlanta, Georgia.
Alex met Pat when he was transferred to Atlanta, and, in need of a corkscrew, knocked on his neighbor’s door. There, Alex met his neighbor, Pat. He never returned the corkscrew, and they married in 1986 living a wonderful life together until his passing.
Alex is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Pat Spivey; three children: Gene Spivey of Myrtle Beach, SC, Talley (Paul) Richey of John’s Creek, GA, and Ginny Eagan of Columbia, SC; and five grandchildren: Grier Eagan, Sazie Eagan, Mackie Eagan, Norri Hope Richey, and Ani Spivey.
A Memorial Service for Alex is scheduled for 11:00 AM on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at The Abbey, 48 Gathering Lane, Pawley’s Island SC 29585. The family will receive friends immediately following the service.
