She is survived by her loving children: Cheryl Herbert (Robert), Joanne Mayer (Mike), Gail Turgeon (Ed), James Armstrong (April) and Caroline Langley (Barry Armstrong, predeceased). She is also survived by her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
Florence is also survived by her sister, Sheila Brownlee, and her brothers Ronald Greer (Lorna, predeceased), Donald Greer (Rachel), and Ray Greer (Jean).
She loved her family and kept her wonderful sense of humour until the end. As per her wishes, there will be no visitation or service. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

Condolences to all of Aunt Corky’s family. Aunt Corky and Uncle Alvin always brought warm thoughts to my mind. She was such a warm sole. Will always remember the music and singing. Love to all

I remember asking my Nana (Lillian) once who her favourite sibling was, and without hesitation she said, ‘Corky.’ Nana described her as kind, caring, and understanding—and that has always stayed with me. My mom, Betty Ann, felt the same way and always spoke of Aunt Corky with love and admiration. Even though we’ve been out of touch, Aunt Corky’s passing is deeply felt. With so few of Nana’s siblings still with us, these family memories feel all the more precious and meaningful.

Our deepest condolences. Aunt Corky was such a wonderful woman with a great sense of humour, and she will be deeply missed. Chris and I will always remember her kindness and witty remarks — she had a way of bringing a smile to any room.
