Florence Jamieson

Florence M. Jamieson

Born April 25, 1921 to Thomas & Elizabeth Stephenson of Detroit, died May 20, 2013, after an extraordinary life. Surviving Florence are her children: David Edward Jamieson (Sue), Mary Elizabeth Janetzke (Bruce), Fredrick William Jamieson (Kathie), and Ruth Anne Hankins (Mike).

Florence was blessed with eleven grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren.

She graduated in 1939 from Cass Technical High School in Detroit with a degree in Dressmaking. She married Theodore Roosevelt Jamieson Jr. on January 15, 1941.

Busy raising four children, Florence volunteered wherever she was needed - Teen Club, Boy Scout den mother, theatre costume creation, docent at Courthouse Square and more. She loved music, was an accomplished organist, loved art, cooking, sewing, quilting, reading, gardening, and cake decorating. She made clothes for her children, Halloween costumes for the whole neighborhood, the best iced sugar cookies ever, and still found time to encourage creativity, hard work, and excellence in her children. She worked as a seamstress and retail clerk for Gordon's Apparel and later as a reader at Michigan Press Reading Service.

Florence will be missed, but her humor, generous spirit, humanity, and zest for life lives on in four generations of family and anyone who ever knew her.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, May 31, 2013 11:00 AM at Skinner Funeral Home in Eaton Rapids. The family will receive friends at the funeral home at 10:00 AM. There will be a luncheon immediately following the service at the funeral home. To leave condolences or to sign the register book visit www.SkinnerFuneralHome.com
