Recently, Spencer shared tragic news with fans. She has lost her beloved mother, Carolyn von Seelen, who passed away at the age of 85.
Spencer shared the news on Instagram, where she wrote, “If you were lucky enough to meet my mom. You know that smile that lit up every room she walked into. What you might not have seen at first glance was her courage, resilience, endless optimism, deep faith, and boundless love for her family.”
Spencer noted that her mother was surrounded by loved ones during her passing on February 13th, noting she’d get a good kick out of it due to the taboo date. She finished her post by sharing, “We love you always and forever, mom.”
