Florence Louise McGlothlin Hartman

Florence Louise (Flo) Hartman, age 92, of Bloomington, passed away Sunday at the I.U. Health; Hospice House with her family by her side. Born September 7, 1920 in Harrodsburg, Indiana, she was the daughter of Claude and Clyde (Smith) McGlothlin. She met the love of her life, Bernard Hartman, at the age of 14, married at the age of 16 and had their first son, Jerry Hartman at the age of 18. Six years later she had their second son, Larry Joe Hartman. Flo graduated from Smithville High School and was a long-time member of Fairview United Methodist Church. She retired from RCA and later served as a volunteer Pink Lady at Bloomington Hospital. After retirement, she and Bernard spent their winters at Sun N Fun Resort in Florida. She was an avid shuffle board player and played with a competitive spirit. She loved to read, watch her daily soaps and was a lady of many talents. She was an excellent seamstress, could crochet, knit and design beautiful silk flower arrangements. Despite suffering from several health problems including breast cancer, she continued on her pathway. Flo was a courageous woman who never gave up while coping with sadness and obstacles of life.
