Ladd, Florence (nee Bird) – peacefully on Saturday, March 6th at the Colonel By Residence at the age of 91. Beloved wife of the late John Frederick Ladd. Florence was born on February 27, 1930, at the Grace Hospital in Ottawa Ontario. She grew up in the village of Overbrook in the Township of Gloucester. After graduating from High School of Commerce her first job was with MetLife and then with the Federal Government, beginning with the RCMP in the department of finance superannuation branch and eventually working in the department of Energy Mines and Resources, Resource Management branch. For a time being Florence and her husband John were in France and Belgium while John was working for NATO.
