Diane H. Springer

Diane H. Springer, a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, left an indelible imprint in our hearts. As the poet Maya Angelou said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Diane was a master at making people feel loved, welcomed, and valued. 

Born on January 10, 1943, in Gardner, MA, grew up in Westminster MA before locating to Templeton MA where she raised her family. She was a beacon of strength, patience, and unconditional love.  Diane's dedication was not only apparent in her personal life but also echoed in her professional life. She served as an assembler/ tester for Simplex/ Tyco in the Time Recorder industry for 30 years, where her attention to detail and perseverance were recognized by all. She retired in 2004, marking an impressive and fulfilling career in a field she was passionate about. Her work ethic and unwavering commitment have been a source of inspiration for many.

After retirement, Diane relocated to Baldwinville, Massachusetts, where she created a warm and loving home. Her devotion to her family was evident in her daily life.

She is survived by her Daughter, Kim Lucier; her spouse, David of Winchendon; her sons, Robert Springer, his spouse Teri of Templeton, and John Springer of Shrewsbury; seven grandchildren: Jeff Springer of Templeton, Jess Springer of Winchendon and Shauna Springer of Templeton, Felicia Lucier of Bolton, Brandon Lucier of Gardner, Sarah Pia of California, and Samantha Springer of Leominster; eight great grandchildren Bruce Springer, Belle Springer, Warren Page, Ada Page, Carter Crusciel, Jordan Pia, Devorah Pia and Natan Pia; and her niece and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Edwin and Alice Lundberg, and her sister, Arolyn Garneau.

Diane loved traveling with her best friend, Gloria Duguay, who preceded her in death.  She especially loved the beach, where she enjoyed going to Wells Beach in Maine, which she called her Happy place. In her younger days, she was an avid bowler and loved to crochet.  Diane's love for her family and the close-knit bonds she cultivated will forever be cherished. Her memories will continue to live on in the hearts of her beloved children and all who knew her.

Diane’s family would like to give a special thank you to Quabbin Valley Health Care (Rehab unit), where she received exceptional care. And Brookhaven Hospice, which made her last moments of her life peaceful.
