She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. Those who knew Shelia knew she had a smile that was contagious when she entered a room. She had a gift of using her career, at Methel’s Hair and Day Spa, to create many lasting friendships. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She had a very special church family at Park Terrace Cumberland Presbyterian that poured love out on her during her battle with cancer. Mrs. Springer was preceded in death by her parents, Glyness and Winford Nichols; sisters, Jean Mitchell and Martha Lane McGee.
She is survived by her husband, Joel Springer; son, Derrick Gargis (Lisa); daughter, April Gargis (Tobey Carruthers); sister, Dean Glover; grandchildren, Sam Gargis and Mackenzie Carruthers.
Her family extends a special thanks to all of the doctors and staff at the NW Alabama Cancer Center, Compassus Hospice and Shoals Hospital, that treated Shelia with such special care during this difficult time.
