September 15, 1929 to June 30, 2009. Florence died peacefully on June 30, 2009 in Vancouver following a stroke. She is greatly missed by her husband Andy, with whom she shared a 60-year love affair of the first order, and by the rest of her family and friends. She is survived by Andy and by her sons Tony, Greg, John (Tema) and Andy (Marion), her grandchildren Holly, Joëlle, Diana, Jean-Luc, Ben, Meredith and Oriana, her dear sisters Betty and Eileen, and many other cherished relatives and friends. Born in St. John’s, Flos was a proud Newfoundlander who exemplified the generous spirit and concern for others for which the people of that province are famed. An elegant woman, Flos was petite and delicate of body, but keen of mind and indomitable of spirit. Her family and friends will miss her sweet nature and her wise counsel very much. Flos’s standard parting words for family members were “May God bless you and take care of you.” We hope the same for her. A celebration of her life will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 2465 Crown Street, Vancouver, at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 9, 2009. A burial service in St. John’s will be arranged at a later date.
