We will miss her positive attitude and great humor. We always looked forward to her Christmas cards. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this very difficult time.
Florence lived across the street from us — I even remember delivering her paper when I was a paperboy. She had a generous smile and will be missed.
Florence was such a delight! Knowing her since I was a little girl was such a great pleasure. Remembering way back when her family lived across the street from my parents on Smith in Richland. Wish I still had the kitty muff she gave me for my birthday many years ago. Florence your laughter was so wonderful to hear and I always saw you walking every day around town. Rest in peace! Thoughts and prayers are with Freddy and Carol!

My thought and prauer aur with you. ED
My thoughts and prayers are with Florence’s family. We have known each other a long time and did water aerobics together. She always had jokes for the group. I will miss visiting with her. God’s Blessings.
Florence was my “adopted” grandma living right across the street while I grew up fast. We shared so many afternoons laughing about jokes, telling each other stories and eating to many cookies. As I grew up, she kept up that quick wit and happy smile. I wish I could have given her one more hug, but one always feels that way.
I will miss Florence’s wit and strong determination. She was a wonderful neighbor and friend since 1976 when we moved in down the street from her. I was proud of her being able to walk every where instead of driving. She was known for her famous fudge and chocolate chip cookies. They were the best I have ever tasted! I enjoyed a fantastic sampling of a huge amount of goodies she prepared when she would invite a lot of neighbors and friends over around Christmas time. Florence had a hard time the last number of years, but she always had her faith in God and was anxious to be free of her medical problems and have ever-lasting life in heaven. I pray that God will bring the family comfort during this difficult time.
Fred and Carol,
Your mom was such a fun lady and I have so many memories of her and my mom getting together through the years in the old neighborhood. Nobody could tell a joke as well as Florence and she always had a box of toys in the closet for the kids. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I remember growing up in Seattle & driving to Richland to visit. The thing I remember most about Aunt Florence was her contagious smile. She had a great sense of humor & positive outlook. She will be missed.
Florence, our optimestic neighbor, who made us feel so welcomed with your laughter and warmth from theSummer of 1980 30 years. Your wonderful smile with giggles will always be a warm memory.
Our condolences to your family and loved ones.
