Helen (Walker) Springer, 77, of Lewes passed away after a sudden illness Saturday, April 17, 2021. She was born July 9, 1943, in Minquadale, daughter of the late Walter and Grace (Dennie) Walker.
Mrs. Springer worked for many years as a bookkeeper at Newarc Welding and Fabricating in Wilmington, and with Douglas E.

She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Springer was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Gerald “Jerry” Springer; her brothers: Walter, Vernon, Arnold and Daniel; and her sister, Margaret.
