Auntie Florence was my Godmother and she was the most prettiest, kindest,  funniest and  most loving of all the aunties. And I'm not just saying this because she was my Godmother.

I spent my childhood summers, and some winters, on the farm playing with my favorite cousin, Lorraine. We would raid the freezer for auntie Florence's most delicious donuts. She was a fabulous baker and I still bake one of her famous desserts to this day!

One of my fondest and  enjoyable memories was spending countless hours in the barn playing with all the cats and baby kittens. I couldn't get enough of them!

Another one of my most cherished and beloved  times on the farm was going to Sunday Mass. Auntie Florence always dressed so beautiful.  The love of Christ governed her life and it came through in all the love, kindness, sweetness and care that she  always bestowed upon me. 

I am so extremely blessed🙏🏻 and grateful for all these wonderful childhood experiences because they set me on a life path that profoundly impacted my faith, walk and love for Jesus. 

All these  glorious childhood memories and experiences are things that can only be found in storybooks and for that, I love ❤️ you so dearly auntie Florence.  Thank you.

You are now in the presence of our Lord and Savior;  forever at peace and unending joy in His marvelous Kingdom. How awesome is that! 

Love you forever and always, your Goddaughter, Brenda

Of all the parishioners I knew while growing up in St. Peter's colony,  Florence was the one I admired the most.  She was friendly, humble, kind and very attractive.  May she now rest in peace with her God and saviour.
My condolences to her children and grandchildren.  May you cherish the fond memories of your mother and grandmother until you meet again.

Our most heartfelt and sincerest condolences Grandma was so sweet she will be miss 
May her memory be eternal our love and prayers with the family

Our condolences to you all on the loss of Mom and grandma.. Florence was a lovely lady, full of life with a smile on her face always.  Really enjoyed our visits.

Cherish all your memories of your mom, grandma and may you rest in peace Aunt Florence.

Always keep the beautiful memories of your mom, grandma, great grandma close , and know that you all have  special Angel. When the dimes show up, you know that she is with you.

My mom, Irene, and Lee and I, want to send our sincere condolences in the loss of your mom.  I remember spending time at the Ell Dairy farm in my youth.   My mom and dad (Peter and Irene Ell) would square dance with your mom and dad and I would babysit. Those were the days. Rest in Peace Aunt Florence.

We are saddened to hear of lovely Florence and so thankful to have known her.
We wish you all peace during this time and going forward.

Florence was remarkable grandma, lady and friend.  She was a combination of warmth, kindness and love.  
I have to giggle when I think of the time I took Florence and Mom to the lake to visit Terry and Joanne for a boat ride and lunch.   The car ride out was full of conversation and stories  not one dull moment.  On the way home I turned around to have a chat and surprised to see both were sleeping away.  My heart was full….not to mention a quite ride  home. 
Rest in peace Florence,  I will cherish our friendship, hugs and sweet memories

Our sincere condolences to the family.  Florence was an inspiration to many as she volunteered at the Resurrection parish in the hall and loved to help out her community. She was always there too serve💕

Condolence  to a wonderful family who were raised by a beautiful women.  I remember how  she worked along side of her Mother-in-law who spoke limited English without any complaints.
Florence had a good sense of humor and was loved by the whole family. 
She will be truly missed by all her friends and  her family.
Thinking of her dear family and sending  love!💕✝️Elaine & Harry Toye

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have a lot of lovely memories of Mrs. Ell and her involvement in the community of Kronau, including her friendship with Mom and the ladies of the 4-Square Community Club. Wishing each of you strength as you walk this new journey without her here in the physical world.

To all of Aunt Florence’s Family .. I send my Deepest Sympathy on the loss of a Beautiful Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother.
I have so many Wonderful Memories of  times spent with your mom and dad in the colony.
From chatting with them every Sunday after Church, The Halloween and New Years Dances at St Pete’s, Vinching all day and night on New Years and just getting together to visit. 
I know your mom has been waiting so long to gain her wings to Heaven and though it’s hard losing those we love so dearly.. I think we have to be Thankful for the time we had with them and be at Peace that they are finally in Gods Kingdom with the ones that went before them.
Keep Beautiful Memories close and know she will always be watching over you.

Sending our deepest sympathies to the family. Florence was instrumental in our lives, and I think of her as a grandma to our children. Parker and Daneca had the blessed fortune of being babysat by Gloria, and Florence, living only a few houses away, was always around to be a big part of our kids lives. She gave lots of love and lots of opinions too, lol, which we all needed to hear. She gave me guidance in a motherly way that I am forever grateful for.  Kronau benefited from her many years of volunteering,  and endless energy.  Rest in peace with your loved ones by your side, Florence.
