Florence Garcia

Sadly, Florence Garcia, 87 years old, passed away September 15, 2020. She was born on October 16, 1932 in New York, New York. She was a true New Yorker! She lived in NY until she moved with her husband and children to Kansas in 1976. Florence was known to many as “Flo” or as her grandchildren called her “Floey”. She had a joy for life and an intense love for her family. She always had a great sense of fashion and interior design. Florence was “one of a kind”, witty, smart, funny, spiritual, glass always half full and a presence no matter where she was or whom she was around that was profoundly magnetic. Florence left an indelible impression of a beautiful soul on whomever she met. She was dearly loved and will be incredibly missed by many! Florence is survived by her daughter Jodi Lamping, son-in-law Tom Lamping, son Les Garson, daughter-in-law Kathryn Garson and 3 amazing grandchildren, Taylor Shapiro, Danny Lamping and Dane Garson. Private Family Memorial to be held at this time. Contributions to The American Cancer Society appreciated.

Friends with Taylor, Flo’s Granddaughter ,Roeland Park ,Kansas

I am so sorry to hear about Flo’s passing. Taylor and I have been friends since first grade and we spent many, many summers at the pool with Flo at Villa Medici and the J! I will never forget the fun times with her. She always gave great advice, shared stories, and had an incredible whit. Every time I was around her you could see how much she loved her family and she always made me feel welcome and loved. We have always said that some of Taylor’s best stories begin or end with Flo. I know how much you all treasured her and how much she treasured you! She will be very missed and I will never forget her. Love you all!
