MONTICELLO - Florence Briggs, 95, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2025, at Madigan Estates Nursing Home. She was lovingly surrounded and cared for by the awesome nurses and staff and her family close by. Florence was born on September 22, 1930, in Houlton, the daughter of Bert and Georgia Briggs.
Florence's favorite hobbies were crocheting, knitting and sewing. She had 2 sweet dog "friends", Chloe and Jazzy that visited often and she "babysat." She also enjoyed her beloved collection of stuffed animals.
She is survived by several nieces, nephews, and cousins who adored her. They say, "she was quite a spit fire".
She was predeceased by her parents and siblings: Morrison, Alvin, Margaret, Phyllis, Jim and Frank.
There will be no funeral services. Plans are being made for a spring celebration of life to be announced at a later date.

Morrison and "the girls" were a big part of our lives here on the Gentle Road. Spitfire is a very apt description of Florence ! We thought the world of them. May all those special memories give you comfort and make you smile as you think about times spent with Florence.
