Florence La Tona Obituary
Florence served in the Women's Army Corps (WAC) during World War II, stationed in the Pacific Theater of Operation. She reached the rank of Staff Sergeant. Upon her honorable discharge she became a medical secretary and later worked at the Veteran's Administrative Hospital until her retirement in 1979.
Florence was a generous woman who gave more than we know. We will remember her through her stories; for we each hold one dear to our hearts.
A Christian mass was celebrated with close family, followed by an interment at Holy Cross Cemetery where she received full military honors.
