Florence Elizabeth Gallant
Florence
Elizabeth Gallant passed away on Monday June 24, 2024. She is lovingly
remembered by her sons, Bart (Debbi) and Melvin; and daughter Debbie. Florence
was predeceased by her husband Melvin; daughter Mary; and son Darrell.
Florence
otherwise known as Nana, is remembered by numerous grandchildren, great-
grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild; as well as numerous nieces,
nephews, cousins and friends. Florence was born to Mary and Angus MacDonald,
August 18, 1939 in Dominion, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia where she resided until
she moved to Red Deer in 1968 with her family. Those who knew Florence knew of
her incredible work ethic. Florence was with Parkland Class for 35 years. In
that time, she made many friends that became family and she received multiple
awards. Her family was proud of her achievements and passion. When Nana wasn’t
at work, she spent time with her family. Our fondest memories of Nana were her
spunky personality and ability to entertain us all. Leave it to Nana to sing
and dance her way through all family holidays. Her favorite singer was Kitty
Wells, every time she came on Nana was up singing and dancing. Nana was very
dedicated to her husband, children and grandchildren which were the light of
her life and she was the light of theirs as well.
Nana
will be very sadly missed but never forgotten. She is with her husband now, so
we know she is happy.
