A long time member of Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church, Florence also sang in its choir and was a member of the ladies guild. She enjoyed bowling in her younger years, and later, she replaced bowling with trips to the casino for black jack and poker. She was an avid Red Sox fan and enjoyed cooking for her family and the church but her greatest joy was in sharing time with her family and friends.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to all those at the Meadows for the wonderful care given to Florence.
