    Elnora was a beautiful person who lovingly gave happiness and her full self to our father. We are grateful for her unselfishly sharing her life with our family. Even though she lived far away she remains close to our hearts. We are blessed to know that she is now at peace in the arms of her Maker, and that her precious memories will last forever with us.

    To our beautiful Elnora. We will miss you. We may have lived very far apart but you were always in our thoughts. You are the most gracious, loving and kind hearted person on this earth. We will cherish the beautiful memories that we have made. You playing cards with the kids, and eating your short-bread cookies, they are to die for and so many more, the list goes on. Most importantly, your loving support to dad. He was so very lucky to have found you and for the two of you to have shared your life’s together. You are now back together watching over us all. Rest in peace our beautiful mom.

    Elnora was a very special Nana to all her grandchildren and we have lots of fond memories over the years. I always looked forward to her letters which we wrote to each other since my childhood years.

    Nana, you will be missed. The stories you shared with Adi Niklas & I during the summer of 2010 will never be forgotten. Every time we look up and see the brightest constellation star in the sky we will think of you.
    We love you and will miss you dearly. Until we meet again.
    Love always,
    Debby, Dean, Meghan, Marco, Lauren & Adi Niklas xo xo xo

    My thoughts are with Elnora’s family, so sorry for your loss.
    She was a sweet woman and fit in so well with the Lahteenmaa sisters, I sometimes forgot she wasn’t one of them. She wrote and called my grandmother Evelyn on a regular basis. She was very thoughtful and special. I hope she and Bill are together with Evelyn and the rest of the gals (and Ted), and are looking out for us from Heaven! Love and prayers, Sheila Vaananen

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
