She grew up in a close-knit family that included her sister Margaret Lockhart, and brothers Theodore JR, twins Timothy & Thomas, and George Clements.

Florence was a nurturing lady, who loved babies. She was blessed with many grand, great-grands, and great-great-grandchildren. She was known to let many of the granddaughters have special tea parties.

She married her husband, Ashley Brown in 1948. They raised their 3 daughters, plus helped raise many others in the family, and certainly passed on their years of wisdom and love. They celebrated 75 years of marriage last September. Ashley passed away in January of 2024.

She had many loving great and great-great-grandchildren as well.

The family would like to thank Dr. James Delehanty for his years of care. Special thanks to the Sussman House in Rockport for their wonderful care and compassion for Mom and us. The last 12 days of Florence’s life were made so much easier with your assistance and letting the family be together.

A graveside service will be held June 30^th at 2 pm at the Greenlawn Cemetery in Swanville. There will also be a committal service for Ashley Brown and his sister Jean Condon.
