    Lynn and family, thinking of you at this difficult time. We have many wonderful memories of Ethel, driving around looking at Christmas lights, an almost visit to my aunt in Montreal and subsequent visit to her sister and great conversations over numerous glasses of red wine. She will be missed and fondly remembered.

    Many years ago I recall several enjoyable games of golf up at Gallagher’s with Ethel and Erwin; they seemed to be able to always secure the best tee times and I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of joining them on many occasions. They were very lovely folks, Ethel was always so bright, good humored and friendly; lovely to know.
    I am sure your family has many wonderful heartfelt memories. Frances Kirkpatrick

    We were very saddened to hear of Ethel’s passing. She was always such a pleasure to have at our family gatherings, such a great sense of humor and always such a pleasure to be around. She will truly be missed by all of us.

    So sorry to hear of our loss of this most lovely lady, Ethel! We will truly miss her! She was a very happy person who was full of life and always had a smile and big hug for us. Her business was always done in person at our office where we often had lengthy conversations.

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.
