Peacefully at the Riverview Health Centre on Tuesday, January 3, 2017, Ms. Florence Masse of Starbuck, Manitoba passed away at the age of 96 years.

Florence was born in St. Claude, Manitoba. As a young girl she moved to the Starbuck area with her family. Following the death of her parents she remained on the family farm until the age of 90. At this time her health dictated her taking up residence at Riverview Health Center in Winnipeg.
Florence had a love for animals, in particular horses and dogs. She would regale us in stories of her two horses, Queen and Major.
The family would like to thank Riverview staff on CD-1 for the excellent care provided to Florence. The family would also like to give a special thanks to Dawn and Elizabeth Bathie and Rhino.
