Born August 7, 1940 in Billings, Montana, Lynnette was the daughter of Lucille and Joseph Jung. She grew up in Glasgow, MT. She received her undergraduate degree in Sociology from St. Catherine College (now University) in St. Paul, MN and later her MSW from University of Utah. She served for 21 years in the U. S.

After completing overseas assignments at Osan Air Base, Korea and Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines, Lynnette married fellow Air Force officer Peter Springberg while assigned to the Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, TX. Lynnette retired from the Air Force in 1996 as a Lt. Colonel, and following her husband’s retirement, they moved to Fort Collins in 1999 (it was her turn to pick.) Here, she continued to see mental health patients up until shortly before her death. Having received advanced training in group psychotherapy, Masters & Johnson Sex Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), she worked with victims of sexual abuse as well as veterans and others with PTSD in a pro bono capacity. She had a passion for volunteering and helping others and also volunteered as a fashion model for a number of businesses and organizations.
