FLORENCE WAGNER Peacefully with her family at her side, Florence passed away on Sunday, April 24, 2005 at Selkirk and District General Hospital. Florence leaves to mourn her sons, Wayne (Bunny), Scott (Ramona); granddaughters, Heather and Sandra; sister-in-law Beverly Mitchler; and many relatives and friends. Florence is now reunited with her loving husband George; her brother Harold Hash ; and her parents, William and Dorothy. Florence was born in Waldersee, MB and moved to Winnipeg where she met and married her husband George of 50 years. Florence worked for the City of Winnipeg for 25 years before retirement in 1990. One of Florence's greatest pleasures was taking care of her two granddaughters and watching them grow. She was a creative person who loved to crochet quilts and make beautiful flower arrangements and crafts. Florence also loved to take care of her garden and many flower beds in her yard. In 1956, together with her husband George, they found property at Point du Bois where together with family and friends they built a cottage which she enjoyed and was very proud of. Florence and George were very fortunate to travel to many wonderful places, especially going to Port Aransas, TX, where they made many good friends. Thank you to all those who were so kind and caring to Florence and her family during her illness, the doctors, nurses and homecare workers in the community and at Selkirk and District General Hospital. A special thank you to Dr. Demsas for being so patient during her lengthy illness. Respecting Florence's wishes, cremation has taken place and a private service will be held.

I am so saddened to hear of Flo's death. She is still so fondly remembered by her many co-workers and friends at the City. She was a wonderful and warm lady who truly made a difference in the lives of those that knew her. I remember that she was always so proud of her children and grandchildren and my condolences go out to them as you have suffered a significant and deep loss. - Posted by: Glenda McLarty (Friend) on: May 06, 2005
