  2. My deepest condolences to Teri and the family in the loss of your mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and beyond.

  3. Although Theresa and I only had an in-church, church functions relationship, she was always kind to me and always had a ready smile on her face. One of those people that was a part of the St. Roch family. Always seen, always around. My heartfelt sympathy and prayers go out to her family. She will be missed.

  4. Theresa was my Mom’s best friend (Marion Mascari) And I was fortunate to have traveled with her:
    We went to Scicily. Peru. Indonsia (sailed on a tall ship) and Eygpt. We had so many great experiences together.
    She My heart goes out to was the Best in many ways; and always a trouper. When we were getting on the tall ship in Indonsia
    Theresa broke her toe; not once did she complain and didn’t miss a beat. She will be missed. My deepest sympathy!

  5. Clare I am so sorry for you and the family

    I remembered meeting your mom at Lowes. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. Hugs. I am so sorry

  6. Teri, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. I met her at a Universal luncheon and she seemed very nice.
    Prayers for you and your family ❤️

  7. I am a long time acquaintance of your mother. She always dressed so nicely and always had a smile. A very sweet woman. Glad I met her.

  8. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Theresa and Chick were often mentioned throughout my childhood, as they were dear friends of my parents. Take comfort in the knowledge they certainly had a straight ticket through those pearly gates…and are now rejoined with love ones there to welcome them. What a wonderful family…What a wonderful generation. My prayers for your peace and God’s blessings.

  9. I grew up about a quarter mile from 101 E. National (The Springman House). My years of growing up and even now I was included in the love and caring of Teresa and Chicks family I interacted with all eight children and was invited to share a meal often at their table As a matriarch in the neighborhood and Saint Roch church Teresa will be greatly missed but the memories of her and her family live on

  10. Terese was an inspiration to so many of us. She will be severely missed. The Springman home was my 2nd home in my C9 days with Teri. Love you all

  11. So sorry for your loss
    Your mother was always very sweet to our family. I know she will be missed by all. Mary Hubbard and family

  12. She was a true class act and one of my favorite people to work for. Always kind and sweet. One time I was confiding in her that times were hard with one of my children. She told me to wait “ for the Harvest Years.” When your children are grown and it’s all worth it. One of the finest pieces of advice I ever got.
    We can’t come to the showing, but I’ll be at the Mass on Thursday morning.
    Much Love, Andrea Fleck( and Larry)

  13. Therese Springman was my secret Hero! She always has been a class act! She was always in fashion and well spoken! Pinky out when sipping a martini…just oozing with style! Therese is the epitome of family…keeping her own kids close and tight…and all her strays close and cared for too! Therese was another mother to my brother…well and me too! I remember wanting to lose weight for 8th grade graduation…Therese took me to weight watchers and handled me so gently!…Wow I saw a whole different Therese when she started her WW meetings…she spoke so effortlessly…she was gifted in motivational speaking for sure!!! I lost 25lbs that spring! Therese had a heart that would beat for so many…but Jesus was in each beat for sure! It seems God always put us at the same mass!…I would smile so big…when I’d see her because I couldn’t wait to give her a hug! She always always had a kind word…something to chuckle about…and a concern for someone else! I’ll miss her smile and her impeccable style! She is in each of her amazing kids…it’s very cool when you’re with them! (And Chick too for that matter!!)God Bless all you Springman kids…I just love ya so damn much! I’m grateful to be a part of your family and more grateful you’re a part of mine!! I’m so sorry for your loss…she will never be forgotten!!

  14. Aunt Maxine will not be able to come to the showing(just turning 97 years young) but please know you were always my mom’s favorite person. Many people say aunt theresa and I (Debbie)looked so much alike, what a compliment! Our hearfelt condolences to all the springman clan.

    We love you all, Maxine, Ronnie, Mary, Debbie and Craig Roembke

  15. I met the sweet and lovely Theresa at a Christ Renews His Parish retreat in 07 or 08. Then our Team 6 met every week for a couple of years to prepare to give our retreat. She was a beautiful soul, so devout and sincere in her love of the Church. I am sure she is spending time in Heaven with our other team members, Anne Downs and Kathy Kiefer. God Bless Theresa

  16. I always admired Theresa when I was at St. Roch. Her youngest, John, played football for my late husband, Bob, at St. Marks when St. Roch no longer had enough boys to form a team. She was a busy mother, and a role model to me while we raised our ten children. Some of our children attended St. Roch with the Springman children. May God welcome this beautiful lady into his Heavenly kingdom. God’s love to all her family from the Hillan family.

  17. We were saddened to hear of the loss of our Aunt Theresa. She was kindness personified and we will cherish her memories.
    Love, Jim, Jone, Jan, and the Binford family.

  18. My deepest sympathies to all.. I will miss Aunt Theresa and her sweet words and smiles sorry I was unable to attend you were all and still in my prayers and thoughts ❤️‍

  19. Dr Max and I are just hearing about the passing of dear sweet Theresa. We are praying for all the family who we truly love and miss. She is reunited with her sweet husband and hope that and all your beautiful memories bring you peace. God bless you all.

    All our love,
    Dr max and Beth

  20. Therese…..I hope you are enjoying your birthday in heaven! We all sure miss you! Thanks for being my neighbor and friend for 50 years. God bless you…..Bonnie. Halloween 2023
