      Eve was born March 22, 1941, in Bloomington, a daughter of George A. and Myrtle T. (Hinshaw) Shattler. She lived in Bellflower until 1951 when the family moved to Orlando, Fla. Eve graduated from William R. Boone High School in Orlando. She continued her education at Orange Memorial Hospital Nursing School and fulfilled her dream of becoming a registered nurse.
      In 1963, Eve returned to Illinois to begin her career at Gibson Community Hospital. She married the love of her life, Leon Springer, on April 3, 1965, at Gibson City Bible Church, and they moved to the family farm. Eve continued her career as an RN for 40-plus years. She cared for and touched many lives.
      Eve is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Leon Springer of Fisher; three children, Dawn (Tim) White of Bloomington, Diane (Michael) Hegarty of Mahomet and Lonnie (Rachel) Springer of Gifford; five grandchildren, Jordon (Chelsea) White, Samantha (Devin) Roggow, Amanda Springer, Naomi (Samuel) Whitman and Aidan Hegarty; and a sister, Mary (Charlie) Hubbard of Ellensburg, Wash.
      Eve was a member of Gibson City Bible Church and was involved in the Women's Missionary Fellowship. She was active in the Bellflower Historical Society and Champaign County Home Extension. She was very creative, and it showed through her love of card making, scrapbooking and sewing. She also loved working on family genealogy and was well-known for her cooking. But above all, she loved spending time with friends and family. She will be greatly missed.
