In Memory

Flo Williams (Hollands)

Florence Williams Hollands passed away in Sherrills Ford, NC on Mar 22, 2023.  She will be burried on Tuesday, March 28, 2023 in Salsbury, NC at The Veterans National Cemetary.  Flo was born March 19, 1941 and was 82 yearl old.  She is survived by her husband Patrick Hollands who notified us of her death and two daughters, Megan Reese and Rebecca Orendorff and ten grandchildren.  They remember her best as being a loving, smart, inspiring, kind-hearted, admirable, caring, compassionate, funny and thoughtful person.

Flo grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, graduated from Mt Lebanon High School and received her Ddegree in English from Allegheny College.  She started her career at Brookings Institute in Washington, D.C. and then moved to Gulf Oil before starting her greatest "jobs" of Mom and Gigi.  She loved traveling, gardening {her biggest passion being the meticulous care of 18 hybrid rose bushes) and reading every book imaginable.  She advocated strongly for a new library in Sherrills Ford and never hesitated to give advice.  Her extensive voulunteer hours helped so many others.  Everyone loved hearing her incredible stories about life's many gifts and travel adventures.  Flo really enjoyed calling Sherrills Ford home and the perfect flower weather and all the kind people.

Flo was one of my best friends in high school.  She, Janet Davies, and I learned how to play bridge at her house when her mom very patiently taught us and kept us interested by feeding us sour cream and onion soup dip and Wise potato chips!  I have wonderful memories of times at church, on retreats, and just hanging out.  Rest in peace, old friend....
