Florence G Fioravanti, October 17, 1952 — March 15, 2019

Florence’s Obituary Florence “Floss” Fioravanti, 66, of Selbyville, Delaware, passed away suddenly yet peacefully on March 15th, 2019 at Atlantic General Hospital, Berlin, MD. She was born on October 17, 1952 in Manayunk, PA where she was raised by her late parents, Edward and Florence Smith. After graduating Roxborough High School, Floss “Flo” worked in customer service as a waitress, restaurant manager and leasing agent for 30 years while raising her family in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

She moved to Delaware in 2008 where she was very active in her community and served on their Homeowner’s Board of Directors. She was a person of tremendous determination and strength. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

Her favorite thing to do was spending time pool side with neighbors and family, perfecting her tan, laughing and creating priceless moments and memories. Her laugh was infectious and her smile could light up the room. She will be dearly missed by family and friends.

Florence was an advocate of organ donation and donated her corneas in hopes to allow another to see the world as beautiful as she did. She is survived by her husband of 46 years, Richard Fioravanti. 5 children: Edward of Delaware, Richard Jr (Kristi) of Florida, Tina Petreshock of Delaware, Bernadette Whitaker (Richard) of Pennsylvania, Antoinette Davies (Dennis) of Pennsylvania, 11 grandchildren: Corporal Derek Lauria, serving in Afghanistan with the United States Marine Corps, Elizabeth, Rachelle, Devon, Andrew, Daniel, Richard III, Adrianna, Athena, Giavanna, Jayden, 6 great grandchildren, and 2 sisters: Becky Cornman of Pennsylvania, and Peggy Sue Lavery of Delaware.
