Florence Crocker
1943-2022
Passed away suddenly but peacefully at the Wilkinson Memorial Health
Centre, Old Perlican, Florence Elizabeth (Percy) Crocker of Western
Bay, aged 78 years.
Predeceased by her husband, Winston; parents, Maxwell and Myrtle
(French) Percy; brother, Roy Percy; parents in law, Carson and
Lorraine Crocker; and deceased members of the Crocker, Percy and
French families.
Leaving to mourn daughters, Reverend Yvonne (Bill) Hopkins and Tracy
Crocker; grandson, Wm. Reagan Hopkins;
aunt, Hazel Godden (New York); uncle, Clayton French (Brigus); niece
and nephews, cousins and extended family and circle of friends.
Florence was born in Brigus and later with her family moved to St.
John’s where she finished high school, met her husband, married and
began to raise a family. Having lived in Manuels, Newtown, and Mt.
Pearl she found herself relocated to Western Bay after her husband
died. She loved to work outside the home and made herself many work
friends at such places as The Royal Stores, Cousins’ Dry Cleaning,
Electrolux and Sears. She was always up for fun and was known for
playing jokes and pranks on the unsuspecting. She was passionate in
her love for animals and treated them as her own children. In later
years her health issues overtook her and she relinquished her zest for
always having fun. However, her dry wit, inherited from her mother,
remained, offering zinging one liners when least suspected.
Cremation has taken place. At her request there will be no visitation
or funeral but a public service of committal will take place at a
later date.
As an expression of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, a donation may be
made in her memory to the Baccalieu Trail SPCA
(info@baccalieutrailspca.net) or it can be passed along on your
behalf.
