Jeannie Springer walked into the Garden with her Lord, on July 31st, 2023. Born on June 19th, 1930, Jeannie's life was one lived with grace, love, and compassion. She was blessed with 93 years filled with music, love, and a commitment to service.
Jeannie and Harold embarked on their journey together in 1950. They moved to Kooskia, ID in 1951, where it was just supposed to be for a few year,s for a job, but they found a place they were proud to call home. It was here that Jeannie made many of her cherished memories and left an enduring legacy. She was a volunteer at 4H and for many years lead the organization, demonstrating her dedication to her community and the younger generations.
Her personality was best described as proper; she walked with grace and lived with a conviction that touched all who had the pleasure of knowing her. The lessons she shared, the most poignant being "to love as Jesus instructs us," stood as a testament to her faith and her understanding of life. Her favorite book, The Bible, was a reflection of her spiritual devotion.
Music played an integral part in Jeannie's life. Her favorite song, "I'll Fly Away," was a melody that resonated deeply within her soul and brought her immense joy. In her spare time, she took pleasure in bowling, finding it to be a stimulating means of exercise. Finding that "Only boring people are bored", she was always busy with a crossword, coffee with friends, or reading the newspaper like clockwork. Her love for her Plymouth car was one of her unique traits, and her adoration for her family was immeasurable.
Remembered for her love of pastoring youth, Jeannie was deeply committed to causes she believed in. Her compassionate heart and nurturing spirit will be remembered by all those whose lives she touched.
