It is with broken hearts and deep sorrow that the family of Florence Coumbos announces her passing from this world to a better place. Florence Elizabeth Coumbos (neé Land), 60, died in the early hours of August 17, 2019, surrounded by family and friends after a 2+ year battle with brain cancer.
Despite 3 brain surgeries and countless hours of radiation and chemo, Florence kept her sense of humour and her love for her friends and family. Her many friends, neighbours, old school chums from Sacred Heart, and coworkers from the Richmond School District were a continuous source of support, friendship and laughter.
Mother, wife, sister, auntie, friend, neighbour, colleague, teacher - Florence will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Yiannis (John) Coumbos; her children, Adamandia and George; her siblings: Margaret McWilliams (Bob), Jim Land (Marilyn) and Kevin Land (Meredith); sister-in-law, Matoula; nieces and nephews: Michael, Milo, Odessa, Alana, Paul, Josh, Keith, Violet, Athena, Isabella, Curtis and Kelsey.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada would be appreciated.
Florence’s celebration of life will be held on Tuesday, August 27th., at 3 o’clock at the South Arm United Church 11051 No. 3 Rd. in Richmond.
