Florence a oeuvré comme infirmière pendant plus de 50 ans dans les hôpitaux des régions de Montréal, New York, Moncton et Edmundston.

Florence received her nursing diploma in 1931 from the University of Montreal and began a 50 year-long career in the nursing profession, practising in Montreal, New York, Moncton, and Edmundston. After retiring from the Hotel-Dieu Edmundston Hospi

tal as head nurse of the surgical unit in 1976, she continued working for another 5 years as a night supervisor at Foyer Saint Joseph, completing her nursing career at age 70. She had a natural curiosity, was an avid reader and a lover of all thin

gs Royal. She exemplified life-long learning: until the very end she read her monthly magazines, and her daily newspaper. She also enjoyed travelling. Above all, Florence's greatest love was her family who fondly called her Mimi.
