The family of Florence Ann O’Leary (Crilley) would like to announce her passing on December 13, 2021. She was born on December 31, 1951. She is predeceased by her husband John and parents Agnes (Connell) and Donald Crilley.

Florence spent many happy years as a young girl on Chesley Street going to school with her Irish twin sister Agnes. Both born in 1951. She married her dear husband in 1972 ad spent many happy years together. They bought land out round lake with a cottage; family and friends were all welcome. Later they sold it and bought a motor home to travel to the North Shore, Sussex, Woodstock, Minto or wherever the wind would take them. They shared a great love of life together.

She is survived by her siblings; Agnes Kindred (John), Donald J. Crilley of New Avon, Marie McHugh (Robert) of Avondale and Evelyn Carr (Clayton) of Hibernia Drive, sister’s in-law Mabel of Halifax and Aurelda of the North Shore, many nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and my girl Jane.

She is predeceased not only by her husband John, but by sister-in-law Val Crilley, and mother-in-law Mary (O’Leary) Daigle.

You are with Mom, Dad and John now dear sister. You have left me with a lifetime of love and memories. – Your other half of life Agnes.
