Juanita A. Springer

SPRINGER, Juanita A.
(Langford)

Passed to be with our Lord February 5, 2011, she had just celebrated her 87th birthday. Juanita was born in Indianapolis, Indiana January 30, 1924 to George and Myrtle Grace Langford. They moved to Spokane, WA where her father, George Langford, helped found KFPY which is now KXLY, where he retired as Head Engineer in 1970. Juanita attended Lewis and Clark High School where she was active in Chorus, Drama and sang Opera. She met William E. Springer while he was stationed at the Naval Base in Kirkland, WA. They married on June 5th, 1943 and moved to his hometown of Elizabethtown, Indiana. Juanita attended Business School while William got his degrees in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. They had two children Stephen and Nancy Springer. After divorcing in 1958, Juanita returned to Spokane and became a Dental Assistant and Office Manager for Dr. Dominic Dire until she retired 30 years later. She was an active member of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority where she organized fund raisers for many organizations and charities. She was a wonderful single mother and sacrificed much to raise her children. She was a fantastic cook and had a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh. She even endured "Band Practice" in the basement, her son Steve being a musician, so from then on, to all our musician friends she was known as Mom. She was kind and many times generous to the point she went without. She spoiled us all rotten, but she loved her family beyond measure. She is survived by son Stephen E. Springer and daughter Nancy A. Springer; grand- children Christopher T. Smith, Andrea R. Smith Borges, Jessie L. Apperson; five great-grandchildren; sister Dorothy M. Davis and niece Bobbie A. Stephens of Everett, WA; brother Wesley G. (Barbara) Langford; and nephews Jeff, Mike, "Too Slim" Tim and Randy Langford. She was laid to rest at Fairmount Memorial Park next to her father and mother on February 14, 2011. We will always love you and never forget you our Dearest Juanita, Mom, Sister, Aunt, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Champion, Friend -¦ We will all miss you till we meet again, in the Heavens in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.
