Beloved Wife of the late Archie and is survived by many, many friends.
Most people know Florence by the delicious homemade cookies, banana nut bread and brownies she made and graciously passed out to her doctors, lawyers, waitresses, cashiers, nurses, mail person, etc! This small act made such a huge impact on those she touched and will always be remembered as a touch of human kindness and compassion. Two words that describe her are strength and compassion! Strength: she was a butcher for 16+ years to provide for her family as her dad was sick and then a mail carrier for 14+ years; 2 tough positions! Compassion: she shared her baked goods with everyone who she came in contact with as a sign of gratitude. Even some of her last words were “my mother told me to be nice to everyone and those who were not nice be double nice to them!!” These are some words to live by!
Visitation will be held on Wednesday, March 27th from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm at Hopcroft Funeral Home, 31145 John R. Road, Madison Heights, Michigan. The Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, March 28th at 11:00 am at White Chapel Cemetery, Chapel of Psalms, Troy, Michigan.
