<div itemprop="description">BARRETT, Florence <br /> <br />On Wednesday, November 4th, 2015, Florence Barrett passed away peacefully at the Lacombe Hospital at the age of 101 years. Florence was born on February 8th, 1914 to Joseph and Mary Hainsworth, being one of nine children, she lived most of her younger years in the Leslieville area. On June 10th, 1933, Florence married George Barrett and they lived in Evarts and then four year later, moved to Delburne, where they farmed and drove the rural mail route for 32 years. In 1975, they retired and moved to the Village of Delburne. In March of 2008, she moved to Red Deer. She lived there until 2014 when she moved to the Royal Oaks in Lacombe. Florence is survived by her four children; Harry (Tina) and their children, Rick and Monica; Eleanor (Al) Volker and their children, Jan and Doug; Russell (Dorothy) and their children, Jeff and Jennifer; and Joyce (Sandy) Starkey and their children, Scott and Leanne. Florence was also blessed with fourteen great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two sisters; Ruth MacDonald and Alice Thompson, and sister-in-law, Bettie Hainsworth. Florence was predeceased by her husband, George, four brothers and two sisters. Mom was always a very busy person and loved to work in her garden, play bingo, cards, curl, shuffleboard (winning gold medal in the Alberta Senior games) and helping on the farm and in the community. She was involved in and was secretary-treasurer of many local groups, a couple being the Royal Purple and Drop-In Centre. Mom drove her car until she moved to Red Deer in 2008 and always said she had to give the &ldquo;old people&rdquo; a ride, when she was actually older than most of them. She loved her family and how could anyone not love her, as she always helped in any way she could. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends. A family interment will be held at the Delburne Cemetery on Thursday, November 12th, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. A Memorial Service will follow at Eventide Funeral Chapel, 4820-45 Street, Red Deer, at 1:00 p.m. <br /> <br /></div>
