Florence Ann (Brusiewski) Kaledas age 89, of Mahanoy City, formerly of Frackville, passed away Monday, December 21, 2015 at Schuylkill Medical Center, East Norwegian St., Pottsville.

Florence worked at the former Material Outlet on Lehigh Avenue and the former Model Garment Factory, both of Frackville, in her early years and then devoted her time to her husband and family.

Florence was a member of St. Joseph’s Parish and was active in the former St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church, Frackville and the Frackville Senior Citizens.

Florence always loved and collected angels. She remained self-sufficient and independent up until her hospitalizations. Her house keeping was impeccable and most importantly she always had a kind word to say about everyone. She was a pillar of strength and a role model to her family.  .

A devoted catholic she would say the rosary daily- even several times a day when a family member was in need. The strength of her prayers resulted in many resolutions.
