Obituary published on Legacy.com by John F Givnish Funeral Home - Academy Rd on Feb. 4, 2026.
Florence "Flo" (Eisele) Watson passed away on February 2, 2026, at the age of 92. She will be deeply missed by her children, Valerie Schlechter, John Watson, the late Edward Watson (Wendi), and Beverly Watson (Jef); her grandchildren, Gerald Schlechter, Andrew Schlechter (Alyese), Kellie Watson, Jacqui Watson, Michael Watson (Laura), Timothy Watson, Ryan Watson, Emma Watson, Bryan Watson (Sarah), and Ty Laubach; and her great-grandchildren, Gerald, Aurora, Athena, Anastasia, and Andrew. She is also fondly remembered by her former sons-in-law, Gerald Schlechter and Charles Laubach, along with her many beloved nieces and nephews.

Flo was a lifelong resident of the Pennypack Woods Homeowners' Association and a devout member of Saint Dominic's Church. Known for her quiet strength and steadfast faith, she enjoyed watching ice skating and golf, playing bingo, and card games with friends.

Friends and family are invited to Florence's Life Celebration on Thursday, February 12, 2026, from 1:00pm until 2:00pm, followed by her memorial service at 2:00pm, at the John F. Givnish Funeral Home, 10975 Academy Rd, Philadelphia, PA, 19154.
