Florence Marion “Flo” (Gordon) Cooper
1932-2024
Florence Marion
“Flo” (Gordon) Cooper – 91, of Kentville, passed
away surrounded by family on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 at home. Born in
River Hebert, Cumberland Co., she was a daughter of the late Samuel
and Florence (Harrison) Gordon.
Flo will be deeply
missed by her children, Michael (Marianne) Cooper and JoAnne (Sandy)
VanBlarcom; brothers, Bob and Bill Gordon; brother-in-law, David
Cooper; grandchildren, Aaron (Stacey) VanBlarcom, Ashley (Nick) Hill
and Brennen (Hanny) Cooper; and great-grandchildren, Penny, Hank,
Lucas, Preston, Lauren and Jack.
In addition to her
parents, she was predeceased by her husband, John Robert
“Jack” Cooper; brothers, Harley, Walter and James Gordon;
and sisters, Agnes Gauvin and Murielle Fairweather; sisters-in-law,
Jeannie and Judy, brother-in-law; Glen.
Flo was a devoted
wife, loving mother, proud grandmother and great-grandmother. In their
younger years, Jack worked for Ultramar and it took them to many
locations throughout the Maritimes. After settling in Kentville, Flo
worked for Carousel Fashions and Ripley’s Shoe Store. Flo
enjoyed curling and was always proud of her “8 ender”, she
loved to knit and was an exceptional baker, always sharing her
passions with family, neighbors and friends. Flo loved going for
drives with Jack, she was always the passenger, since he “never
let her learn to drive”, and many friends kept those drives going
after he passed in 2007.
Flo’s
favorite thing to do was spend time with her family whether it was
holidays, birthdays, vacations or a simple Sunday supper (always with
dessert), she always enjoyed this time together. She loved being with
her close friends, going to concerts, birthday lunches or just
catching up over tea.
Flo’s
greatest joy was watching the family she and Jack created grow, to be
loved by Nanny Flo was a one-of-a-kind feeling, and those who were
lucky enough to experience it will miss it every day.
Special thank-you to
Dr. David Nunn, and care support friends Geri and Pam.
