Florence was born on September 14, 1919 in Chicago to her parents, Stanley Ostapa and Joanne Prokopowicz. She and her husband, Adolph, started raising their four children in Chicago, then moved to Glenview, Illinois. They lived in Glenview for 30 years. Her husband Adolph passed in 2006.
Florence then moved to the Garlands of Barrington, where she enjoyed many years of fun and laughter with friends, her children, 17 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.
She was the mother of Tom (Ann) Wysocki, Carolyn Gralewski (Darrell Bloom), Nancy Brach (Ken Presti), and John (Sarah) Wysocki. Florence came from a family of nine children and has one surviving sister, Sophie, age 100 in Arizona.
Florence lived a long, healthy life, passing just a few weeks short of her 105th birthday.
Her life will be celebrated with a funeral Mass to be held at Saint Anne Catholic Church, 120 Ela St, Barrington, IL at 11: a.m. Saturday August 24, with visitation prior to the service from 9:30-11:00 am. Internment at All Saints Cemetery to follow the funeral Mass.
