Mrs. Florence Mannix passed away on Friday, July 1, 2016 at the Lady Minto Health Care Centre in Edam, Saskatchewan at the age of 92 years. Florence (Flo) Barbara was born to Anton and Anna Marie Bauman in Davidson, Sask on the 27 December 1926 into a large family. The family moved to Meadow Lake, Sask in the early thirties where she grew up with many happy memories. This is where she met her future husband, John Mannix of the Meota area. John and Florence were married in Prince Albert, Sask at a private ceremony on 12 Feb 1946. From Prince Albert, they moved to the McMillan district (rural North Battleford) in 1951. Here they raised 3 sons and made many lifelong friends. They resided here for 60 years until they moved to Lady Minto in Edam. John passed away shortly after. Florence had many interests over the years, crafts, needlework, walking, & bowling. She had a quick wit and a ready answer for all. She loved visits and big hugs. She and John loved square dancing and travelling, something they did every winter and to all family gatherings. Family was always first but she did love her music. She would sing, clap or dance to the music.
