Mrs. Springer was kind to me at Holston High School. I have often thought of her over the years. May she wake up in Paradise.

Mrs. Springer was my teacher at Holston, and I have nothing greater that I could state or declare, than that she walked her faith on a daily basis, and that was in Christ Jesus. I am sure that if one thing could be declared this day from Mrs. Springer it would be for all her family and friends to follow in her footsteps, as her steps were in Jesus Christ. Years later after attending First Baptist, I was able to see Mrs. Springer, no longer as a teacher, but as the individual she was in everyday life, and the two were the same, one who loved and walked her faith in Christ, what a testimony and witness. To her family, I extend prayers and a sorrow for your loss, the days and weeks ahead are most difficult ones in all aspects concerning this life, I hope you can visit Philippians 4 and call to mind the 'peace that passes' all understanding and may that peace hold you in days too come, it was my pleasure to have known Mrs. Springer, and her love in Christ.

Jim and Martha, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was my home room teacher from 1972-1976, as well as my English teacher. She was such a sweet, gentle lady, and she will be missed greatly. May God bless you both, now and always.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the family. Mrs. Springer was undoubtedly one of best teachers at Holston. She always seemed to have an air of sophistication about her and it didn't seem to matter how many times she had to go over a lesson, she still had that same brilliant smile. The world is a better place having had her in it.
