Beloved wife of the late Terrance McManus for over 64 years.

Florence worked for Bell Canada as a switchboard operator in Ottawa. She married Terry on September 10th, 1958 and they settled in Morrisburg where they raised their family. She was employed at many places but most of her working days were spent at Beavers Dental.
Florence lived a full life. She belonged to many clubs including the C.W.L., Women's Institute, Florida Red Hatters Society and she was an avid bowler.
In her younger days she played baseball and enjoyed watching her older brothers play hockey. Florence loved her coffee visits with her friends and she had a passion for crafts, gardening and puzzles.
Terry and Florence enjoyed camping with family and ventured to the East Coast a few times with their trusted tent trailer. You just couldn’t touch the sides during a rain storm.
As empty nesters and retirees Terry and Florence enjoyed several trips south to escape snow and winter weather. At first they travelled to Myrtle Beach, then they purchased a trailer at Highland Wheels Estate in Sebring, Florida.

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never
fade because a loved one’s gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
far as long as there is memory,
they’ll live on in the heart.
