Florence (Flo) Elizabeth Ellers, 94, of Mechanicsburg and formerly Camp Hill, went peacefully into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior in Heaven on October 30, 2014. Florence was a resident at Claremont Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Carlisle, PA.
Florence was born April 6, 1920 in New York City to the late Joseph and Mercedes Grespin. She was predeceased by Adrian, her husband of 56 years, son Robert, and brother Joseph Grespin and his wife Helen.
Florence worked in the New York fashion industry in her early years. Her sense of style and grace carried over into every endeavor. Florence loved her husband, sons, grandson and extended family unconditionally; she enjoyed entertaining her friends and family; and creatively studied and collected antiques.
