In Loving Memory of Florence Sherr

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Florence Sherr at the age of 94. She passed peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and strength.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Florence was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She had an unwavering commitment to her family, always putting others before herself and offering wisdom, compassion, and support to all who knew her. Her gentle spirit, sense of humor, and warmth will be deeply missed.

She is survived by her daughters, Maureen and Carolyn, their husbands Michael and Warren, her grandson, Brian, her sister Sandra, brother-in-law Ronald, niece and nephew Ellen and Kenneth.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests those wishing to express sympathy to plant a tree in Israel in her honor.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
