She was born May 26, 1918, in Memphis, Tenn., daughter of Matt and Annie (Fabacar) Raishel.

Mrs. Speltz was a devout Roman Catholic, attending daily mass for the past several years. She was active in the National Council of Catholic Women, and she was a Eucharistic Minister and a volunteer in her church's gift shop.
