She was reported in her sister Nettie’s obituary in 1934 as a surviving sister Mrs. Virginia Caskey of Pomp, Ky. (The obit reports all married women by the given name of their husband, so this syntax indicates that she was the widow of a Caskey at the time.)

Kendall, mother’s maiden name Allice Cox, both born in Morgan Co., Ky, cause of death renal failure due to chronic cardio vascular disease, informant Stewart Kendall, Lexington, Ky, burial ion West Liberty.
She must have married George Spence not long before her death, because the 1940 census records two George Spences in Morgan Co., both of them widowed.
