Florence Matson Hendry, age 83, died peacefully December 20, 1993, after many long years with Alzheimer's.
This disease picked away mercilessly at Florence for 13 years, stripped her of intellect, memories and finally even mobility, yet failed in its bid to destroy what and who she was: Her gentle goodness defied disease and remained to the end the essence of her being.She lived her beliefs, expected the best, had faith, trusted and gave endlessly-to family, animals, co-workers, friends. A gentler person never lived, nor one more caring. We remember and are grateful for the gifts she brought to better years-for courage, kindness and honesty; for the music and the dance.
Survivors include daughter and son: Claudia Hendry Marques and Clint Hendry (Karen); grandchildren, Drake Margues (Caleen), Andrea and Arielle Hendry; great-grandchildren, Brianna and Christian Marques; sister, Viola Kingsley; many nieces, nephews and extended family.
Funeral services will be Thursday, December 23, 1993 at 11 a.m., at Redwood Memorial Estates, 6500 South Redwood Road. Family will greet friends at 10 a.m., before the service.
In place of flowers, the family would appreciate contributions to the Alzheimer's Assoc.,
