Florine Swanson Gupton, 85, passed away on January 25, 2026. Florine spent many years working at Thompson Cadillac, but her greatest joy was found at Angier Baptist Daycare, where she cared for and loved the children as her own. Her heart for others extended beyond work - she was a devoted supporter of her family, often seen cheering loudly and proudly for Dan, Tony, and Scott wherever their sports journeys took them.
Later in life, Florine dedicated her time to volunteering at Angier Baptist Church, deepening her connection with her cherished church family. Her kindness, warmth, and unwavering faith touched countless lives.
Florine is survived by her loving husband of 63 years, Dan Gupton; son, Scott Gupton and his wife Jeannie of Garner, NC; son, Tony Gupton and his wife Melony of Smithfield, NC, and granddaughter Ashton Anne. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews whom she treasured dearly. She was preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Rhiley Swanson, and her beloved brother, Robert Lee Swanson.
Florine's legacy of love, laughter, and service will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
