Marie P Gordon

away April 14, 2012. Born on June 16, 1922, in

Mayfield, KY, she had been living in Jacksonville

for 10 years. Her later years of working were as a

floral designer and traveling with her husband.

Since her first grandchild was born, she gave each

grandchild so much love and they all knew how

special it was to be in her home. Besides her family,

she loved music so very much and passed the gift of

voice and music appreciation across the generations

to her grandchildren. One of our great joys was to

listen to Mom sing and to listen to music with her.

She was a deeply kind woman who was loved

dearly by her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her very loving

husband, Bill, her parents John and Ella Proctor,

brother John M. Proctor and daughter-in-law

Joyce Gordon.

She is survived by her sister Jewel Toca of NY,

daughter Barbara Rovedo of Jax, and son Darrell

Gordon of San Diego; grandchildren, Marc W.

LaDoucieur, Jami E. LeFebre (Henry), Kelly Quist,

Anna Gordon, Cory Gordon and Glen Gordon;

and a very special great-granddaughter, Camille

Elizabeth LeFebre; and nephew Daniel C. Proctor

(Jackie).

The family would like to thank all of the caring attendants

at Some Place Like Home. It was there where she spent

the last nine years of her life thanks to the creative vision

of Barbara Tidwell, owner of SPLH.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday,

April 17, 2012, at Hardage-Giddens Chapel Hills

Funeral Home, 850 N. St. Johns Bluff, with committal

services following in Chapel Hlls Memory Gardens.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in

Mrs. Gordon's name be sent to Community Hospice

of Northeast Florida, who were angels of mercy in the

care of our beloved Mom, Grandmom and Great-

Grandmon, who is now in Heaven with God and her

friends and family that went before her.
