So sad to hear of Flo’s passing. Will always think of her with fondness and her very cheerful disposition while working with her at Valley View .Just a sweet lady
Sad to hear of Flo’s passing. She was a friend of my Folks from way back when she lived around Mitchellton ( my folks farmed at Mossbank )and later she and Cyril used to have coffee with Mom down at the CO-OP and they were always planning their next garage sale or giving rides to others without a car…always doing something.I think they knew more than half of that coffee row and same over at Rodo’s on South Hill. Flo was cheerful woman and a ” doer.” My condolences to Cyril and family . God bless.
