  • Florence-Memorial-Piece
    The Passing of a Grand Woman Florence was born in Toronto into the era of the First World War, lived through The Great Depression, and with her husband, Lt Cdr William A. Graham (RCN, RN, RCNR) and four (soon five) children, survived the Second World War in In Memoriam Halifax, Nova Scotia. The family moved back to Toronto, did another NS stint followed by over 50 years based in Oakridge Acres, London. Losing her mother Nell at age 15 impacted her greatly: she dedicated herself to mothering, followed by first class grand and great- grand-mothering. Florence Boyd-Graham Having seen her children through the various levels of higher education, she returned to University (the University of Western Ontario) herself in her late 70s, graduating with a BA/Hons BA (but did an equivalent of an MA) in Philosophy. Dec 22, 1913 - Nov 24, 2009 During these years, she worked in Veterans Affairs, was a member of the United Church, the Unitarian Fellowship (a dedicated choir member in both), and the (Toronto, ON) (London, ON) Albert Schweitzer Society, followed by the Raging Grannies (add ‘Reveling,’ she always said) who sing protest songs for good causes. On the environmental front, in 1962 she brought home Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, got involved in ‘Pollution Probe’ and The Coop Store. An active member of CFUW and the Oakridge Ratepayers Association, she never ceased doing public service. She travelled widely to visit her children far and wide, and became a fond supporter of The Findhorn Community in NE Scotland (where she visited eight times).
