Florence B Witt

On Friday, February 21st, 2025, Florence Brown Witt was called home to be with the Lord.

Her passing is felt with deep loss among her family and all who knew her and had the pleasure of being around her. Flo brought so much joy, laughter and happiness to everyone throughout her life. Her home was always open to friends and family. You could always find Flo either in her kitchen making someone lunch or a snack, watching baseball or tennis, or outside picking weeds from her flower bed. Flo enjoyed having a beautiful flower bed. She would spends hours outside ensuring everything was “just right”. Even if it meant having to take some of her decorations out to restore them with a fresh coat of paint. If you knew Flo, you knew she is an animal lover, especially with cats, and she was always willing to help her husband Wayne out with anything. Wayne’s love was cars, and she would support him by taking small pieces that needed to be hand painted or polished and would make them look good as new.

Flo began her journey on October 3rd, 1937, in Jacksonville, Florida. Daughter to the late Earl David Brown and Rosalee Brown. Flo would spend her entire life in Jacksonville, where she would graduate from Andrew Jackson High School in 1956. From there she would go on to join the workforce. Flo started working for the federal reserve bank downtown. During this part of her life is when she would meet a man named Wayne who would eventually become her husband of 55 years. Wayne and Flo married in March of 1969 where they would start their lives together.
