Florence loved the simple things in life. One of her favorites was spending time at her cabin in Bob’s Cove. Whether it was having a campfire or having potlucks with the cabin gang. She always looked forward to her New Years Eve gathering with food, fireworks, family and fun at the Penneys. She was employed with Hewlett Group Ltd. where she worked as an accountant for the past 42 years. Florence always looked forward to watching her favorite TV show (Coronation Street ) every night and heaven forbid should anyone speak during that half hour. But most of all her most favorite thing was planning her next vacation with her daughter Tara. Florence has travelled many times over the years to places such as California, Jamaica, Las Vegas and her favorite place, Cuba. Even throughout her time while battling her illness. She was a fighter and a great inspiration to all who knew her.
