Florence "Flossie" Hutchinson - 88, Truro, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 18, 2016, at Elk Court, Brookfield. Born in Truro, Florence was a daughter of the late Wilfred and Daisy (Fraser) Fleck.

Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Susan Kennedy; daughter, Pauline Dyke; great-grandson, Korey Bates. Florence is survived by her children, Leola (the late Walter) Bates, Mary (Reg) Sill, Linda (Dale) Begbie, Wendy (David) Logan, Sterling (Cindy) Hutchinson and her many beloved grandchildren, great-grandchildren and special niece, Carol (Kennedy) Clark.

Flossie spent her younger years as a cook in woods and drilling camps all over Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and even in the Magdalen Islands. Later she worked in the cafeteria as a cook at the Nova Scotia Teachers College until her retirement. Flossie will be remembered by her many friends - not just for her much prized knitted socks and hats, but also for always having a smile on her face and being ready for a hand of cards or a game of bingo. The family would like to extend our sincere thanks to Johnson Manor, Truro, Braeside Home for Special Care, Middle Musquodoboit, and Elk Court, Brookfield, for their kindness and the wonderful support they provided to us all.

All are welcome to attend a graveside service that will be held 4 p.m., Friday, April 22, 2016, at Middle Stewiacke Cemetery, just before civic number 2382 Highway 289, Middle Stewiacke, Reverend Larry Harrison officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations in Flossie’s memory to Middle Stewiacke United Church or charity of choice are welcomed. Arrangements have been entrusted to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro.
