Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryFLORENCE NICHOLSON (nee COLE) March 16, 1923 - January 9, 2013 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Florence Catherine Nicholson with family at her side. Left to cherish Florence's memory are daughters Valerie and Diana (Ron); son James (Karen); and grandchildren. She was predeceased by husband Alexander (Bun); mother Evelyn; brothers Walter and Bruce; sisters Alice, Beryl and Shirley. Florence and Bun enjoyed their travels to Italy, England, Japan and their annual winter trips to Hawaii. The family cottage at Falcon Lake produced many happy memories for Florence and the family. Mom loved tending to her flower gardens. She especially enjoyed old movies, with Gary Cooper movies being her favourite. In compliance with Florence's wishes there will be no formal Funeral Service. A private family interment will take place at a later date. Wojcik's Funeral Chapel in care of arrangements. Deeply missed and never forgotten.

Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your families (Jim & Karen, Diane & Brian and Valerie). Flo was such a kind & caring woman. Remembering the days as kids sharing Xmas & New Years together with our families was so much fun. Flo was such a wonderful cook and worked so hard around the house and of course at her and Bun's cottage at the lake. Those fond memories of all the good times we spent as kids with your family will never leave us. She always made sure we had fun while she was cooking, everyone else seemed to come before her. May God bless you Flo and of course Bunny as well. You will never be forgotten. Kerry Trotman & family. - Posted by: Kerry Trotman and Family (Friends) on: Jan 24, 2013

Jim, Karen, Diana & Valerie Sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. Aunt Florence was the eldest of six children with my Mother Alice being the youngest. The FACT that she took no guff from anyone always made her special to me. She was very kind to me always and I totally loved her salt & pepper collection. We all have our memories to take with us on the rest of life's journey so she will always be with us. - Posted by: PENNY LAMB (NIECE) on: Jan 21, 2013

I have very fond memories of Flo. She had a great sense of humour and took no guff from anyone. Flo was the best host! She worked so hard at feeding everyone. No sooner would the dishes be done, she was serving drinks and then shortly afterwards was making late night sandwiches and coffee. Once at the lake, I had a school project due on Monday. I was very much fretting over it and trying to think what I could do at the lake. Flo was so sweet and generous in suggesting I do something with all the seashells arranged in a fishing net that was hanging nicely at the cottage. To this day, I can't believe I agreed and used them all! - Posted by: Pat Holberg (nee Trotman) (Friend of family) on: Jan 14, 2013
