FLORENCE K. BRESSETTE

FLORENCE K. BRESSETTE - age 84, of Batavia, formerly of North Syracuse, NY, died peacefully Sunday morning January 18, 2015 at United Memorial Medical Center.

   Florence lived most of her life in Central, NY until moving here in 2001 to be closer to her daughter, she was a longtime member of St. Rose of Lima Parish in North Syracuse. She worked as a bookkeeper for many years at Goldberg Furniture and after her retirement spent many years babysitting for children in her own home. She loved the Adirondack Mountains where she enjoyed camping with family, enjoyed bingo, playing cards, loved to travel, quilting, sewing, crafts, gardening and even volunteered with the kindergarten classes that her daughter teaches. Affectionately known as "Nana Flo", she was a wonderful kind-hearted, sweet woman who moved to the Domiciliary Care Unit 3 years ago at the Genesee County Nursing Home and quickly made some wonderful friends.
