Florence Erskine
1934 - 2024
"Florence (Taylor) Erskine formerly of Bathurst (1965 to 2022), and mother of four passed away on October 10, at the age of 90 at the Briarlea Special Care Home...
"Born in 1934 to Colin Ross Taylor and Florence King Taylor at their Windsor, NS home; fourth born of five, she spent an idyllic childhood in and around the Annapolis valley...
"She graduated from Edgehill School (Birks Medal) and Acadia University before marrying Roger Erskine in 1956 to start a family. Roger was a mining engineer, and they moved seven times in seven years before arriving in Bathurst. To support her four children after his 1975 fatal air crash, Florence entered employment with Canmar Industrial Supply, soon becoming general manager, this position she held until retirement.
"She is survived by three children (Neil, Joe, and Jane), five grandchildren (Andrew, Ian, Julian, Rachel, and David), and two great grandchildren (Sebastian, and Colette). She is predeceased by her three brothers (Ronald, Conrad, and Richard) and by her sister Annabelle Taylor. Although greatly saddened by the 2016 passing of her oldest son Gerald, she did order removal of one phrase from his obituary - "totally awesome mother", restored here. In fact, for us, she was perfect."
