Albert D. Springfield

Albert D. Springfield, of Hubbardston, died peacefully Monday, January 31, 2022, in UMass Memorial Medical Center—University Campus, Worcester, with his family by his side.

Born in Marlin, Texas, on May 19, 1935, he was the son of the late Hansel Albert and Vena (Evans) Springfield.
