For all who knew Flo, family was her life. She was our biggest supporter. Her son Bob was her world. All her grandchildren gave her bragging rights like you could never imagine. Each and every accomplishment was shared with anyone who would listen. As the great grand ones came along (Collins, Makenzie and Spencer) she got her greatest joy by being with them as they started to grow. Sewing and quilting were her passion and sharing those with the grandkids made her circle complete. She loved to travel and was lucky to have great friends to travel the globe with. From her oldest friend to her closest friend, they too became an extension of our family. In the last few years her daughter Mildred was able to be her travelling companion, her last trip being to BC in June 2018 to attend her grandson’s wedding. Her home on Lakeside Road was her "Little slice of Heaven" and she could rarely be seen without her sidekicks Nismo, Mocha, Lilo and the terrors Nani and Jackson. Her greatest wish was to pass on to the next life surrounded by the love of her family in her slice of heaven and as in most everything else she was granted that wish with love abound. Arrangements have been entrusted to Reid’s Funeral Home (506-832-5541), 1063 Main Street, Hampton, NB, where visitation will be held on Thursday, August 16th, 2018 from 1-3 and 6-8 pm.
