Martha Lynn Springer

Martha Lynn Springer, 62, of Fort Worth, passed away peacefully Thursday, July 30, 2009. Martha was born April 25, 1947 in Texarkana, Ark.

The daughter of Roy and Laverne Springer, Martha moved to Weatherford, Texas in 1955 when her dad opened the Safeway Store where the Weatherford Democrat is today. She graduated from Weatherford High School in 1965 and TCU in 1969. Martha taught math at Weatherford High School until her retirement in 2003.

Martha was a member of Grace First Presbyterian Church. She enjoyed quilting and was an active member of the Bear Creek Quilt Guild of Keller and Trinity Valley Quilters Guild of Fort Worth.

Martha was preceded in death by her parents, Roy Mitchell Springer and Laverne Elizabeth Springer.

She is survived by son, William David Brooks Jr.; brother, Drew Alan Springer Sr. and wife Linda; and three granddaughters, Kasey, Miranda and Linzi Brooks.

In hopes of finding the cause and cure for Scleroderma, Martha donated her body to science.

A private memorial service will be held at Memory Gardens in Weatherford at a later date.

Memorials can be made to the U.S. Charitable Gift Trust, P.O. Box 536, Weatherford, TX 76086 for Scleroderma research.

No
Yes
They should have found another way - requiring Planned Parenthood to have a separate cancer clinic.
