Florence lived a full life as a wonderful mother, homemaker and worked as a waitress in many fine
restaurants in Washington D.C. She loved country and Christian music, cooking and kept an immaculate
house. She was highly skilled with crochet hooks and enjoyed making blankets for newborns. She was a
member of Sparr Baptist Church and was a strong supporter of the children’s programs. Her life was a
living example of one of her favorite Bible verses, Ephesians 4:32 – “And be kind and compassionate to
one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.” Most of all she loved her
family and instilled in her children strong values that have served them well. She countlessly dedicated
her time and most of her energy loving her grandchildren by providing wonderful summers spent in her
care. She was involved in every special ceremony recognizing their achievements. She will be dearly
missed and forever in our hearts. “A family is a circle of love, not broken by a loss, but made stronger by
the memories’”
Due to the current Covid-19 emergency there will be limited formal services at this time. Burial will be
at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell Florida. A celebration of life will be held later in Maryland.
