Florence Greene
September 25, 1944 – April 28, 2021
With heavy hearts and a profound sense of loss, we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of our dear mother and grandmother, Florence Greene aged 76, just two months after the passing of her beloved husband, Tom Greene, in February 2021. Florence is predeceased by her parents George and Mary Furey.
Left to mourn are her three loving daughters, Gigi (John) Downton, Michelle Greene (Harold Guzzwell, deceased) and Jacqueline (Chris) Byrne; and her five cherished grandchildren Michael (Marley), Sarah Jane (Connor) and Maria Downton, and Sydney and Catherine Guzzwell. Also mourning her loss are her sister, Sr. Marie Furey, her brother Charlie (Joan) Furey, as well as a large circle of relatives and friends including sisters-in-law Mary Sarzynski, Edwina Dizenzo, Bridie (Liam) Sneyd and Dolores Brace, and brother-in-law Allan Green; family friend Nancy Constantine; neighbours Gerald and Mabel Tobin; and close friends Linda and Terry Tomlinson.
Mom and Dad were together for more than 60 years and it was unusual to see one without the other. From their days as a young couple roller skating, to family camping outings or adventurous road trips to the US with their children, and in their later life gardening, and swimming together at the Mews Center, family was the centre of their lives. Florence enjoyed attending all the activities of their cherished grandchildren. She created her own traditions with them: themed Christmas ornaments tied to their interests; handwritten personal notes to them on every major milestone in their young lives; even helping them learn to drive. Christmas Eve gatherings at their home was a tradition that displayed the love they had for family and friends. Florence learned how to text many years ago so she could keep in touch with the grandchildren, and not many days went by that she did not hear from them. She will be remembered for her devotion to family, and like her late husband Tom, she will never be forgotten by them.
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, cremation has taken place. As Mom and Dad were always together, we will celebrate them as a couple at a later date.
“Those we love don’t go away.
They walk beside us everyday.
Unseen, unheard, but always near.
Still loved, always missed and forever dear.”
