Virginia Springfield

Our dear mother Virginia (Ginny) Springfield sadly passed away on January 25, 2023 at the age of 82 with her family by her side. Born in Lubbock, Texas on June 28, 1940 to the late Burl & Bessie Springfield, Ginny lived in Connecticut for many years before moving to Fort Myers where she resided for the past 34 years. Upon moving to Fort Myers, Ginny began her career with Lee County Port Authority where she remained until her retirement in 2009. She was dedicated in life to protecting and helping others. Once retired, she volunteered at Lee Health for a time, but her passion and love for others eventually brought her out of retirement and she became an employee. She continued working there until the time of her passing. Ginny always considered her LCPA and Lee Health colleagues and friends to be more like family. Ginny was predeceased by her son Joseph T. Bielawski, sisters Robbie Miller, Linda Cummings, brothers Jerry Springfield and Wayne Reeder. Ginny was a dedicated and loving mother to her two daughters, Lori Bailey (Doug), Brenda Lajoie (Darius), Grandmother to Amanda, Amy and Scott Bryda, Katie Leone (Tim) and Matthew Lajoie. Over the past two years, she joyfully became a great grandmother to Cameron and Madison, whom she spoke of endlessly. She is also survived by her siblings, Ronnie Springfield, Donna Tomilinson, Darlene Hamrick along with several nieces, nephews and cousins. She will be missed dearly by her many friends. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, March 4, 2023 at St. Joseph's Church, 195 South Main Street, New Britain at 9:00am. Interment services will follow at St. Mary Cemetery, Stanley Street, New Britain. Please meet Ginny's family directly at St. Joseph's Church.
