She was raised on a farm in the Zealandia district, attending school at Alluvia and Zealandia. In October 1953, she married Charles Dowie and they raised their family on the farm near Zealandia.
Florence devoted her life to her children and the role of homemaker. Through the years she enjoyed sewing matching dresses for her daughters, time at the cabin, curling, and golfing during winters in California. Florence was a master trucker at harvest time and took pride in providing piping hot meals to those working in the field. Though reserved in manner, she had a sense of humour enjoyed by her daughters’ friends who still muse about those memories.
The family will have a private celebration of life, as per Florence’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Florence may be made to Ronald McDonald House – 1011 University Drive Saskatoon, Sk. S7N0K4 or Alex Ositis Foundation P.O. Box Rosetown Sk. S0L2V0 or a charity of your choice.
