Mrs. Helen Pittman Springfield

January 3, 1958 - March 26, 2022

Helen Theresa Pittman Springfield, was born on January 3, 1958, in Jackson, Tennessee to the late Elehue Pittman, Sr. and Ruthie Mae Campbell Pittman. Theresa also known as Teresa, Resa, or Helen passed away on March 26, 2022. Teresa’s life can’t easily be measured by birth and death. There is the in-between where so much takes place. Many knew Teresa as the child on Booker Street while others came to know her as the teenager and young adult on Preston Street. Her children know her mostly as the mother on Lockwood, Sweetbay, and Independence. Teresa lived as best she could always believing that her dreams could come true. She lived through pains, triumphs, and joys. Let us today and forever more remember Teresa with the sly smile, witty comebacks, and her enduring spirit. One of Teresa’s crowning achievements was the completion of her undergraduate degree from Lambuth University in 1996. It was more than a checked box. The conferral meant she had persevered through doubt and difficulties. Other glorious moments include the birth of her grandsons Khalid and Emery. She loved them earnestly and deeply. Teresa was preceded by her father: Elehue Pittman Sr., her mother: Ruthie Mae Campbell Pittman, her sisters: Ethel Lee Morgan and Ruthie Nell Tanner, and her ex-husband: Dwight B. Springfield. She is survived by her children: Coretta M. Pittman and Yolunda T. Springfield; her grandsons: Khalid A. Springfield and Emery K. Rayner; her grand fur babies: Max, Riley, Austin, and Frances Pittman; sisters: Barbara Atwater (Ronald), Deneice Pittman, Gloria Jean Jenkins; her brothers: Michael Pittman, Anthony Pittman, and her brother-in-law: Eddie Morgan all of Jackson, Tennessee, and a host of nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, extended family, and friends.
