Another significant loss in 2020.
Florence would have been 100 years old Saturday, December 26, 2020.
She almost made it…She was still living by herself in her home of 52 years, where she died last Saturday…two weeks before her birthday.
Her house was one I always liked to go to, and she was a woman I always liked to visit.
She was like family to me…she was my aunt’s forever friend and they lived together since high school.
She was there before I was born. She was there at our extended family Christmas’. She was there for the holidays, the confirmations, the graduations and the weddings. She was just always there, a part of the family.
Auntie Ag and Florence were dear friends. After my aunt died in 2004 we continued to keep in touch with Florence. Florence was an independent woman, and stubborn too, and insisted on staying in her own home by herself. Her mind was sharp and she took care of her finances until the end…but she was losing her hearing and that made communication difficult. But there are many fond memories.
God bless you Florence. May you Rest in Peace. You will be missed.
Thinking of you as you reflect on a cherished life well lived that has now passed on. Sounds like she was a spitfire. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you Sue.
Spitfire is a good description of Florence. 😉
I am deeply sorry for your loss, Florence. Your words reveal how very much she meant to you. What a blessing to know her and love her.
Thank you Audrey.
Oh, Valerie, I know how much you cared about Florence. I am sorry you lost her, but you were lucky to have such an independent woman as an example for you. We have to honor our past strong women! I am sure she was a blessing to you!
Yes, honoring the strong women in our lives is a good idea.
Valerie, I am sorry to hear of this loss in your life. You always love well, and am sure that Florence was always thrilled to see you and felt blessed by you.
Thank you Starr.
