Known as Wife, Mom, Big Sister, Mema, Mother Malveaux or Florence, she had beauty that stemmed from a heart of gold.
She fostered relatable and loving relationships to siblings, children, great-grand children, grand children, and extended family, which was usually accompanied by wise counsel and contagious laughter.
Beyond her career in banking and later real estate, she rallied her community for good causes and encouraged future generations.
She enjoyed travel and activities with her husband and children.
After retiring, her favorite pass time was painting. Her canvases in pencil or paint evoked color and a joyful life.
Her influence and care for others leaves a legacy of love for generations to come.
Florence is the first of 11 children born in Delcambre, Louisiana to Leonce and Elvina.
