Florence Margaret Gott passed away surrounded by the love of her family, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, devotion, and unwavering love.

She was a treasured grandmother to Brian (Gina), Tracy (Anthony), Chris (Traci), and Brendan (Todd). Nothing brought Florence greater joy than spending time with her grandchildren and watching them grow into loving adults. Her legacy continues through her great-grandchildren, Caden, Brandt, AJ, Brody, Gianna, Colton, Amelia, and Lucy, each of whom brought endless happiness to her life. Florence was preceded in death by her brother, John Reuther, Jr., and her sister-in-law, Susie Reuther.

Florence cherished her great-niece, Trina, and great-nephew, Alex. Known for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and selfless nature, Florence was the kind of person who always put family first. She had a gift for making others feel welcome, cared for, and loved. Whether gathered around a family table, celebrating holidays, or sharing quiet moments with those she loved, Florence created memories that will be treasured forever.
