Winkelaar: Florence Gloria (nee Hanson) 1938 - 2005 "I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creatures, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." Florence passed away peacefully at the Rosedale Hospice in Calgary on April 20, 2005 at the age of 67. She was born in Three Hills, Alberta and moved to Drumheller at an early age. After completing her education in Drumheller, she married Ron and moved to Calgary where they raised a family of seven children. Florence was a kind and considerate person and never missed an opportunity to help or say a kind word to someone. She was always available for charity work and supportive of many worthy causes. Her courage and sense of humour, even during her failing health, was truly an inspiration to all who knew and loved her. She was predecased by her parents, brothers Ronnie and Arnold, and sister Shirley Boughton, and is survived by sisters Joyce (Jim) Kirkeby, Geraldine (Dennis) Clausen, and brother Gerald (Judy) Hanson. Florence will be sadly missed by her husband Ron, children Michele Radics (Chris Bencun), Andrew, Gerry (Joelle), Peter, Joanne (Steve Cranwell), Matthew and Keith. Also left to mourn her are brothers-in-law Jack (Iris) Winkelaar and Robert Boughton, and many other relatives. Florence dearly loved and cherished her grandchildren Kendra, Lukas and Mikayla Bencun, Jordan and Logan Winkelaar and Liam Cranwell. The family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to the staff at Rosedale Hospice for their wonderful and compassionate care of Florence during her illness. Also, many thanks to her physician Dr. Lansing. At Florence's request there will not be a formal funeral service, but a Celebration of her Life will be held by family and friends. If friends so desire, a memorial donation can be made directly to the Hospice Calgary Society (Rosedale Hospice), 920 - 7A Street, NW, Calgary, AB T2M 3J3.
