She was born on Apr 4, 1932, in Highland Park, the daughter of Jessi and Elisabeth (Gourlay) Justice. She married Robert Maurice Lewis Sr. on Aug 10, 1962, in Pontiac.
Florence loved her garden and her flowers. She loved crafts, sewing and painting. She enjoyed family cookouts in the summer and sitting on her swing to enjoy the sunshine. Florence loved vacationing at her mom's house in Florida. She made snowmen in the winter and strawmen in the fall. She enjoyed all the holidays like a child would. Most of all, she will be remembered for her kids that she loved with all her being. She will be missed dearly but in our memory forever.
