Florence E. Lizotte

Florence E. Lizotte, 97, of West Pine Street, Washburn, passed away on Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2010, at Memorial Medical Center, Ashland, with her three loving daughters by her side.

She was born Nov. 30, 1912, the daughter of Frank and Sarah Glenski. She grew up in Ashland and was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church, Ashland. On Oct. 21, 1939, she married Henry “Tuffy” Lizotte, and they raised five children. Florence was a very active member of St. Louis Catholic Church and the St. Ann’s Society in Washburn. She was a homemaker and the best mom you could ever ask for. She was most proud of her children, grandchildren, great-granddaughters and was looking forward to meeting her new great-grandchild due in November. Her constant companion over the last five years was her little dog, Mini, who she loved dearly.
