(Park) 1903-2001 It is with great sorrow that her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren announce the passing of "Grandma Florrie" on Saturday, February 17th 2001 at the Kingston General Hospital in her 98th year. Unable to survive a recent stroke, she now joins her husband Ross and eldest son Paul. Florrie is deeply mourned by her sons and daughters-in-law Douglas and Beverly of Napanee, Robert and Kathryn (Derby) of Kingston and William and Patricia of Vancouver. She will also be lovingly remembered by her 13 grandchildren: Doug and Bev's daughters Janice, Kelly, Jill, Pam, Meg and Kate; Bob's family Joseph (Stephanie), Karen, Michael (Diane) and Samantha (Stephen); and Bill's family Carolyn (FranÁois), Wendy and Craig. Her 11 great-grandchildren and her older sister Marge Park of Vancouver will very much miss Florrie. Born of Irish parents in Philadelphia in 1903, who returned to Belfast and then later emigrated to Vancouver in 1914, Florrie lived life to the full with a keen interest and joy in everything and everyone around her. She retained her love of teaching throughout her entire life and remained a passionate supporter of family, friends and students. Her strong, wise counsel and love will be sorely missed. Friends will be received at the McGlade Funeral Home, 78 Centre St. Deseronto Friday, February 23rd from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral service will be held on Saturday February 24th at 1:00 p.m. in the Deseronto United Church.
