Florence Barber Obituary

Flo was known for her warm heart, gentle humor, and deep love for her family. She cherished every moment spent with her children and grandchildren, finding joy in simple gatherings filled with laughter and love.

A creative spirit, Flo took pride in her crocheting, crafting countless blankets and keepsakes that will forever remind her loved ones of her kindness and care. Flo also loved spending her time playing bingo - a game that brought her both excitement and companionship.

As well as her grandson Michael J Burnett Jr.; and her dear sisters and brothers, Samuel Ringled, Charles Ringled, Richard Ringled, Anna Mae Sherrel, Eva Anthony, Victoria Vanderstine, Ida Meehan, and Loretta Ringled.
