Mary Jo Florence

A prayerful goodbye to a beautiful soul. Mary Jo Florence was born Mary Jo Grimmelsman on March 5th, 1948 in Cincinnati, Ohio and passed away on September 23rd, 2021. Her battle with Alzheimer’s is finally over-no more suffering. She is home and at peace in heaven. Mary Jo was a loving wife, mother, grandmother (best ever Yaya), sister, and friend. She was surrounded by family and in the prayers of so many people she has touched throughout her lifetime. She is survived by her husband of 52 years (Tom Florence) and her children Louis (Vanessa), Dan (Jennifer), Eric (AnnMarie), Liz Maier (John) and 10 grandchildren.

Mary Jo worked as a nurse much of her life, finding a special place as a hospice nurse who brought peace and joy to many families. She is remembered for her sense of humor, insightful candor, singing, and selflessness.
