With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our Mother at 95 years of age.
We loved our Mother deeply and know that we are joined by family and friends in our grieving. All who knew her were blessed by her kindness, sweet disposition and love for all people.
Florence was born in the hamlet of La Glace, Alberta to Ingeborg (nee Heimdal) and Ralph Johnson and was very proud of her Norwegian heritage.
She attended Scenic Heights School in La Glace followed by Grande Prairie High School. Florence then moved to Peace River where she worked in the hospital as a Nurse’s Aide. In 1950 she moved to New Westminster, BC where she continued her career in healthcare which was a perfect fit for her compassionate nature. She retired from the Royal Columbian Hospital in 1988.
It was in New Westminster where she met our father Harvey who had recently moved from Saskatchewan. They wed in 1952 followed by 5 children. Our family home was in Coquitlam, BC. The love of camping and visiting family and friends in BC and Alberta was a big part of our life.
Florence is predeceased by husband Harvey – 1995, son Ronald Frank (Valerie) – 2007, granddaughter Cari Lynn Lecky- 2012 and baby Dominic Patrick Davies – 2019.
She is survived by daughters Karen Rantala (Mike), Shelley Davies (Willy), Sonia Bolin and son Philip (Anne Marie).
She is also survived by 7 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren who all lit up her life! Florence is also survived by her much younger brother Lloyd Alstad (Marti) and sister Bernice Penson (Charlie) who live in Alberta and they also lit up her life! They often talk of being in awe of her as children when she came from the city bearing gifts for them.
We want to thank the Doctors and all of the Staff at Maple Ridge Senior’s Village for their kindness and care.
As per Mom’s wishes cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers you can make a donation to a charity of your choice.
Our family will gather to honour our Mother’s life at a later date.
