Not sure what to say?

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

A independent and tough woman with a very considerate and golden heart.

Met Florence in 1960 in high school. Even when I relocated , to another state, the phone calls continued..from rotary land lines to cell phones. She was a brilliant, sharp mind, a problem solver and had a of humor that wouldn’t quit. Thanks for being a great part of my life. So many memories!!!!!!!

In loving memory of a wonderful person.

Flo was always smiling — genuinely happy and positive, even in the face of illness. She was a bright and steady presence, arriving at 7:40 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday for pool class at the St. Jude Wellness Center. Her warmth and joyful spirit made those mornings special for everyone around her.

When she had to step away from class and shared news of her illness, I recommended the Catholic app Ascension so she could stay rooted in the Word during the long hours of treatment....

Flo was a bright star at our Weight Watchers meetings in La Mirada, my condolences to all her many friends and family. I have such wonderful memories of her smile and enthusiasm and was so amazed at her talent and the depth of her soul, and am so sad to hear of her passing.
