Florence worked at KFC for thirty years and developed friendships that lasted a lifetime. Florence loved anything creative such as ceramics, cake decorating, knitting, cooking, sewing and painting. She became a well-known artist for her paintings. Grant and Florence loved socializing. They spent many years country dancing, curling, selling Ukrainian food, and making new friendships at Elinor Lake. Florence was the kindest and happiest person you will ever meet. She was an amazing wife, incredible mother, sister and friend to so many. She always opened her heart and home and was so happy to see everyone.
