We are so sad that our longtime friend and mentor has passed on to her Heavenly home, but know she will be greeted with open arms at the Pearly Gates. Google had nothing on Florence and her amazing ability to remember details. She was so loved by all who knew her! A huge sense of loss for her family and entire Mayfield community.
Love, Norma and Rob Thompson

Aunt Florence was always our go-to person for everything. As youngsters we were taught in any emergency to “Call Aunt Florence.” She has remained a steadfast guide throughout my life. She had an immense heart and cared for others her entire life. She was always intensely interested in everyone around her. Although she was terribly modest she always made me marvel at how she learned the computer, email and more in her 8th decade! In later years, I loved our tea parties where I would listen to Aunt Florence and my Dad share their memories of the past.
The world won’t be the same without Aunt Florence’s guiding presence.
Much love to my cousins, Jean and Elizabeth, both of whom she was immensely proud of (although she would never boast).

Jean, Elizabeth & families, I am so sorry to hear about your mom`s passing, my thoughts & prayers are with you at this sad time. I will miss her and our great conversations while driving her to & from her hair appointments. She was so wonderful to talk to. Al Squires

Dear Jean, Rick and family
Our deepest sympathy and condolences on the loss of your mother. Her longevity and independence is remarkable. Whenever you spoke of her Jean – it was always with so much love and affection. You and your sisters were wonderful to her in the past few years. Cherish the memories you shared as a family.

We were very saddened to learn of Florence’s passing. She will certainly be missed by many people from the Mayfield community but also the Seniors Club here in Caledon East where she loved to exercise and enjoy the luncheons on Friday. Barbara often spoke about how much she would enjoy sitting and talking with the ladies about things that were happening. Our sympathies go to her family and relatives.

Sorry to hear of the death of Florence LaRose. She was a wonderful woman who was a friend to many. She will be missed in the community. She was one that never seemed to grow old showing an interest in the community and the people therein regardless of their age. Sympathy to her family and friends

Shirley Cannon

My heartfelt condolence to the family. Florence was a very special lady and one that was admired greatly. My Mom (Helen Dear – nee Hossie, deceased) spoke so highly of her cousin and I had the pleasure of spending time with Florence at family gatherings over the past 50+ years. You knew that family was so important to Florence – she always made you feel special and welcome. As Helen would say – Florence was the “Salt of the Earth”. I only hope that each of us left behind will live up to Florence’s spirit, spunk, kindness, genuine warmth and her positive outlook on life. Her overflowing heart will be missed.

Please accept our most sincere sympathy on the passing of your mother. She was a wonderful lady and I am sure that the community will truly miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Marolyn Morrison

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all as you remember Florence. She was truly a beautiful soul and her Mayfield church family will miss her too. I always remember her ready to take a picture with her camera so she would have a record of special events, and I understand she already had her pies ready to bake for the annual BBQ. Florence was amazing. May the knowledge that she rests in God’s care bring comfort and peace to you, even as you grieve her loss. In sympathy, Sandra and Fraser

I was saddened today to learn of Florence’s passing. She and I attended the twice weekly fitness program and she was a delight to know. I think I can speak on behalf of many of the “junior seniors” (those under 70) that Florence was an absolute inspiration to us all. She will certainly be missed.

My sincere condolences to her family,

Cheri Cowan

Our deepest condolences to the family of Florence. May God be with you all at this time of sorrow.

Liz, Dave & Heather

May memories comfort you in your time of sorrow

Jean, Elizabeth and families;
So sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom/Grandmother/Mother-in-law. Florence was a great lady. I so enjoyed my chat with her last June at the Mayfield BBQ. Edith was out babysitter prior to us moving north. Whenever our paths crossed I enjoyed chats I so enjoyed our chats.
Cherish the memories.
My sympathies to you all at this time. Barbara Cunnington

Thinking of a wonderfully kind and elegant lady today. Grandma LaRose you will be missed. Sending love and condolences to my aunt Jean, cousin Sarah and all of the family. The world lost a light and heaven gained an angel.♡ Have strength today and remember what an amazing woman she was. Take solitude in your special memories with her and celebrate her life. She would fret at your tears and take comfort in your smiles. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jean and Rick, Elizabeth and Dave and all those wonderful grandchildren.
Unfortunately we could not attend the visitation and for that we are truly sorry that we could not extend our personal condolences to all of you. Many a lunch time I would enjoy a bite to eat at Lloyd and Florence’s. Both she and Newton were cut from a very special cloth of practicality and compassion. She was an amazing baker and after our girls were born she had really good one liner advice about raining children like so many of the wise women of Mayfield Church. She was a fresh as a daisy and as current as the daily news.
Happy to have known her. Bob and I are thinking of you. kindest regards, Rev. Sandra Abuja and family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I had just seen your mom at my sister’s ordination a couple of weeks ago so I was so surprised and saddened to hear of her passing. She will be sadly missed in the Mayfield community.

Brenda (Jenkinson) and Blake Quies and Family
