Good morning and thank you for reaching out. Would it be possible for you to attach a few photos to this question? Photos really help our experts reply with a solid recommendation.

yes I can do photo.

HOPEFULLY. photos of spruce trees branch die/grow, as requested.

Thank you for you pictures. Often spruce trees lose their lower branches due to a fungal disease called cytospora canker.  A ‘canker’ is really a "sore" a symptom of an injury often associated with an open wound that has become infected by a fungal or bacterial pathogen. Canker diseases frequently kill branches or structurally weaken a plant until the infected area breaks free, often in a wind or ice storm.

Trees 20 years of age or older tend to be affected the most. Needles on lower branches will often become yellow, then brown and fall off the tree. After several weeks, infected lower branches will appear defoliated and dead. Usually a bluish-white resin will be observed on branches near the trunk. The presence of bluish-white resin usually indicates cankers beneath the resin.

At this point in time there are no documented fungicides
available to control Cytospora canker. Control is primarily achieved through proper cultural practices. Avoid tree stress by proper watering during mid summer and deep-root fertilization in the spring or fall. Mulching under spruce trees will help conserve soil moisture in the hotter summer months. The wounding of lower branches by mowers can encourage infection, so mulch rings should be extended to beyond the drip line of the tree.
Branches with resinous cankers will need to be removed. Sterilizing pruning tools between each cut will prevent spreading the disease within the tree or to other spruce trees.
