Alberta H. Sproul Obituary

Ephesians 1:4 For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.

Alberta Sproul's spirit was released to the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob [Exodus 3:15] on the 6th of October, 2013, the eve of her 93rd birthday. She was full of His grace and beauty.

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life[a] because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of[b] his Spirit who lives in you.

Galatians 5:19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Alberta exemplified the fruit of the Spirit.

Her husband of 49 years preceded her homecoming. She recently said, "If I could spend just 24 hours with FRED I would do everything all over again the same way, not change a thing, I love him so much."

Alberta leaves behind a legacy, through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and others she affected. The completion of that legacy is yet to be determined by the actions and decisions of those people. Will you go forward in the Spirit or the sinful nature?

A Celebration of the Life she lived here on earth will be held on Saturday, October 26th commencing at 12:30 PM with a reception following at Living Hope Covenant Church 6750 North Union Blvd., Colorado Springs.

The family requests in lieu of flowers or condolences, that contributions be made to the Benevolence Fund c/o Living Hope Covenant Church, a place to start or start over.
