FLORENCE DeCOURSEY Obituary
Florence was a proud and independent woman who approached life with determination and a tireless work ethic. She worked alongside her family on the dairy farm until 1989, embodying the strength and resilience of her farm-girl roots. She nurtured a thriving vegetable garden, and found joy in quilting, tending to her flower beds and caring for her beloved houseplants. Florence took great pride in her home and poured her heart into caring for her family, whom she adored above all else.
Surviving are her sons; Tracy DeCoursey of Williamsport and Lee (Karen) DeCoursey of Liberty; grandchildren; Matthew (Amanda) DeCoursey, Emmy DeCoursey (special friend, Francis), all of Liberty and Chancey (Amber) DeCoursey of Wellsville, N.Y.; great- grandchildren, Gigi, Mariah, Lena, Ruby, Lincoln and Ryan Eugene; her feline friend, Mousie as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins' her caretakers (who adored her) and dear neighbors.
Besides her parents and husband, Richard, Florence was predeceased by her siblings, Anna Moore, Marilyn Case, Robert Fitch Jr., Gladys Holmes, Nellie Harlan and Adelia Pepper.
