Flushing family celebrates four generations of nurses

In 1955, Flushing native Theo Everett graduated from nursing school and began a long career as a pediatric nurse in the Flint area. In the decades since then, Everett has seen her passion for nursing carried down through four generations in her family, including her daughter Teresa McComb—a retired pediatric nurse; granddaughter Melissa Sparks, who started her nursing career at Ascension Genesys Hospital; and great-granddaughter Isabelle Sparks, a 2021 Flushing High School graduate who will be pursuing her nursing degree starting this year.
