March 24,1940 - August 10, 2018
Florence Bunny Rafkin passed away on Friday, August 10th, 2018 and took a huge part of our hearts with her. We feel blessed to have had the honor of being her children, for the wonderful grandmother she was, and for the example she set in being the truest and most loving of friends. She is survived by her children and grandchildren: Scott (wife Terri, daughters Hayley and Kayla); Jill (partner Gregg, daughter Sophia); sibling Bill (wife Barbara); and many family and friends too numerous to list but not forgotten.
In lieu of flowers
we’ve set up a memorial donation to the Mayo Clinic’s Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) department towards research and treatment. As many of you know Florence (Mom) was diagnosed with this rare form of aphasia. Our sincerest wish is to see progress in this area knowing how deeply it impacted her. Should friends and family desire, we’d love donations to be made in her name to this worthy cause.
