Please accept condolences on behalf of the Damron family. Our family went to Holy Name School for many years and we all have fond memories of Mrs. Sparks'. As stated in previous notes, she was always there for the children as well as the staff of the school and church. She will be sadly missed by all.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Ms. Sparks. I was a student at Holy Name, Teresa Dillbeck, and I remember her so well. My father was in the service and every time we would return to Columbus, Ms. Sparks was there with open arms welcoming me back. I have so many fond memories of Holy Name and she is amongst those memories. She will be greatly missed. God Bless her family during this time of sorrow.

I extend my sincere sympathy to the Sparks family in your loss of "Susie".
She was the secretary at the school when 4 of my children (Debbie, Bobby, Chris and Alicia) attended Holy Name. She knew all the parish children and their families and showed care and concern for them in her quiet way. When a child was sick at school, Susie would comfort them in her office until the parent arrived to take them home. When there were outside events for which a student had to pay, Susie anonymously came through for a number of the children that would otherwise not have been able to attend. She had a good heart and found ways to help people every day, in addition to carrying out her many duties as school secretary.
May you find peace in the loving memories you have of "Susie".

I was very sorry to read of Susie's death in the Columbus Dispatch this morning. On this Thanksgiving Day I am very grateful for the love she gave to the children of Holy Name Parish in Columbus. My children, John, Christopher and Anne Drake were students there and they always knew that Mrs. Sparks cared for them. She greeted everyone with a smile and she had an infectious laugh. Please accept our sympathy.
May she rest in the hand of our loving God.
