Florence left us to join her loving husband, Richard Edwin (Ted), who preceded her in death in 1991. Eldest of five, Florence joins her predeceased brothers Bob (Flo), Henry, Russell and her sister Carol (Gord); as well as her parents Harry and Dorothy and grandson Kyle.
Florence is survived by daughter Ellen (Georges), son Jim (Lorraine); Grandchildren Dan, Melissa, Erin (Missy), Adam (Chelsea); Great granddaughter Danica; and Sister-in-Laws Angèle (Angie) and Sheila.
Florence began her very devoted life to the Anglican Church on July 16th, 1922 when baptized at The Church of the Ascension, in Montreal. She married Ted on June 23, 1945.
Ultimately, they settled in a house, on Grant Ave. in Longueuil. Florence worked on making it a true home, welcoming to all. Many in the community, especially those in the Parish of St. Mark’s could attest to that. She gave of her time to the church by participating in it’s out reach programs, choir and administration.
Florence had a lifetime love for cats and flowers. Her gardens won city awards. Family and friends can attest that her hands weren’t only good playing in dirt, as they always enjoyed the scrumptious meals she prepared. Her love of flowers took her to Smith Bros Florists where she was blessed to work part-time with dear friends where her talents and personality flourished.
She was blessed with a multitude of family relatives and enjoyed great relationships with cousins and cherished friends … of which there are too many to mention.
The world was definitely a better place for her having been in it.
May she Rest in Peace.
The family is thankful for the staff at Heritage Gardens, and CHSLD St. Lambert Sur-le-Golf for the care shown to Flo over the years. Special thanks are sent to Nurse Anita at the CHSLD for her devotion to Mom’s care.
Finally, our hearts are full of love for Connie, who was Flo’s Girl Friday over the years, making her days bright.
Florence wished to be cremated, and this will permit the family to arrange a Celebration of Life later in the year when travel is once again permitted.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider making a donation in her name to a local food bank or animal shelter, as these times have placed stresses on both
