Florence M. Crow, 64, of Massillon, passed away February 19, 2026.

Flo was born in Cleveland, OH on December 26, 1961 to the late Daniel Hickey and Nancy (Frank, deceased) Hrdlicka (nee Lutz). Flo grew up as an avid softball fan and played all throughout her youth. Her house was always an open door, welcoming anyone and everyone as her own, whether she became a sister to her brother’s friends, or a mom to her children’s friends. Flo was an exceptionally strong woman and mother, raising all three of her children entirely on her own. After she became a grandmother, she was “mama”, not only to her children but to her grandchildren as well. Flo loved to watch horror movies and football. Her favorite team was (unfortunately) the Cleveland Browns.

Flo leaves behind her three loving children Allen “Gus” Crow, Daniel “Danny” Crow, and Melinda (Michael) Bowland “Ralph and Bubba”; five grandchildren Sirena (Craig) Reed “Sami”, Dale (Marjorie) Bowland “Deej and Margie”, Matthew Bowland “Quinn”, Frank Bowland “Frankie”, and Clayton Crow; great grandchildren Mickey and Junie; and sister Sue Hrdlicka Linke. Flo will also be missed by her friends and coworkers at Woodland’s Nursing Home and all others from the various jobs she had.

In addition to her parents and stepfather, Flo is preceded in death by her brothers Michael “Mike” Hrdlicka, Arthur “Buddy” Hrdlicka, Johnny Hrdlicka and sister, Joann Hrdlicka Smith.

Per Flo’s request, cremation has taken place. Memorial services will be held at a later date… and burial will be private!
