Florence Angela Frank (nee Vertucci), age 94, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 17, 2022. Born on Grove Street, January 6, 1928, a graduate of Dickinson High School, Flo was a lifelong resident of Jersey City. A loving wife to Robby for a very long time (Mom wrote that), a devoted mother to three sons – Robert, Joseph, and Christopher, and a dedicated sister to Sandy, Joann, and Lou. She was a wonderful Grandma to Brandon, Alexander, and Lauren and a second mother to Marianne, Regina, Margaret-Ann, and Ryan.
A talented cook, seamstress, and hostess of many school functions, as well as a tireless fundraiser for a variety of charities, Flo always put others first. She was active in St. Aedan’s, the cub scouts, bake sales, and she fully embraced whatever her sons pursued. She loved spending time in Atlantic City and at the Jersey Shore.
Flo could make friends on a short elevator ride. Ready to laugh, her positive outlook on life and humor brought joy to family and many lifelong friends. We will all miss that sparkle in her eye.
