SPENCE, Florence Rose

SPENCE, Florence Rose

April 4, 1927 – March 19, 2021

Flo was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She loved all sports and played fastball, curling, and golfed. She became involved in the community when she and Angus retired to Strathmore in 1978. Flo loved the mountains and her Irish heritage and cared deeply for her family and friends. Watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren play and excel in sports, dance, and music became one of her greatest joys in later years.

Flo was predeceased by her husband Angus; son-in-law Peter; and great-granddaughter Bailey. She is survived by her children Trevor (Janet) of Halifax, NS, Trent, Sandy (Doug), Rose (John), Debbie, Ty (Dawn) of Kelowna, BC, and Todd of Edmonton, AB; twelve grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; her loving sister Vi; and many nieces and nephews. She has left a huge void in so many hearts.

The family wish to thank her “dream team” on Rockyford floor at Sagewood for their loving care and support during Flo’s residency and Dr. Young for his kindness and care; we will forever be grateful.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the Wheatland & Area Hospice Society (PO Box 2154, Strathmore, AB, T1P 1K2 or online at www.wheatlandhospice.ca).
