Florence Rioux Obituary

Dear Aunt Florence,

I will always remember your smiling face & cherish the memories of past family reunions. To each of my cousins and their families, please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of grief.

Your Niece

Florence - Thanks for always being the sweet caring person you were. I will always remember the help you gave me. My prayers and thoughts go to out to the entire Rioux family.

My dear, dear Aunt Flo, I will never forget you. Your warmth and genuine interest in every single person was one of your stellar qualities. I will always remember our reunions out at Wonder Lake when your laughter could be heard throughout the day! And, always, always, it seemed you were pregnant.

Such joy, such radiance, such love

of life. Your children are a testimony to you as they emanate

the very same qualities you portrayed throughout your life.

May God be with them all as they

face the loss of their wonderful Mother. The world was a better place because of your presence and your spirit remains on through all of our wonderful memories and

through your exceptional children, their spouses, children, and grand children. Your loving niece, Gail

I had the pleasure of working with Florence at Roanoke/Washington International. What a postitive and uplifting person she was! It was indeed a priviledge to know her. My prayers are with the Rioux family.

When Colleen called me to let me know of Aunt Florie's passing, I had a flash of memories of all of us together either in Northlake or EP, of Dad and Uncle Dick's stories (some real whoppers), of holiday time photos of all of us together and of course that constantly laughing, smiling lady so full of joy. The 4 of them may all be gone now but their memory lives on and oh what great memories!!

Florence - Thanks for the great memories!I will miss your smiling face and uplifting spirit ! My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rioux family.

To all my wonderful cousins and their families, I wish you my deepest condolescences, but also I want to tell you that I wll miss your mom so very very much. Though when she was going to marry your dad, I was so upset, because he had promised to marry me when I grew up. He was my favorite uncle, because he was so young and good looking. But he met your mom and I had to give him up. She was great and I learned to love her too very very much and she was such a great mom to all of you and I envied her and her big family. She was a classy lady, lots of fun to be with, had us all in stitches when we were together. Her energy was insatible, and in her last days, she was still the classy lady. I'm so glad we got to see her last week. I will never forget her ever.

Love - Sandy

I had the great pleasure of working with Florence at Roanoke - she was a delight to be with everyday! My deepest sympathies go out to your family and my prayers are with you.
