Florence Rose Hodge

Florence Rose Hodge, age 81, of Chesterfield, Missouri passed away on Tuesday, January 10, 2023. She was born in Marquette, Michigan on April 9, 1941 to William and Olive Goyen (nee Palmer).

Flo is survived by her children, Renee (Mike) Wascisin and Kevin (Frances) Hodge; grandchildren, Jake (Emily Shoesmith) Wascisin and Sarah (Jose) Huerta; sister, Donna Small; nephew, Gary (Becky) Stuck; and nieces, Genna (Larry) O'Brien and Dyanna (Carl) Prestwich.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Olive Goyen; and sisters, Linda Goyen and Ruth Goyen.

Flo was always the spark that made people smile, even when she was not in the mood, as she was always thinking of others. Her willingness to pick people up, make them feel good, and create a good vibe, was second to none. As a mother, she always put her kids first, and in many cases, acted as a second mother to several others over the years. This smalltown girl from a mining community in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, made everyone proud, as she blossomed into an amazing lady, with a strong head on her shoulders. She could not have been a better mom, grandma, relative, or friend and will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her. Her unforgettable smile and giggle will stay with us all for the rest of our lives, and rightfully so, as it was truly one of a kind... to be loved by her was to be truly blessed!
