Florence was the first born of Edd and Lillian Clair in Mount Vernon, WA, followed by siblings Doris, Howard and Mildred. She attended various local schools, graduating from Mount Vernon High. She married Sven R. Newman in 1932 in Mount Vernon. Beverly and Carl were born and the family followed the jobs to various locations. In 1943 Sven hired on with Civil Service in Oak Harbor, WA on Whidbey Island after which Nancy was born. Florence was widely known for her loom woven rugs and prolific handiwork which earned her sweepstake honors at fairs and served as barter with door to door salesmen and even the local dentist. She was active in the Whidbey Homemakers, Organ and Rock clubs. Florence and Sven retired to west Burlington in the early 70's, Sven passed away in 1975, her parents both in 1977. Not one to idle, Florence became a regular on the banks of the Skagit at the Spud House snagging Steelhead. She was active in the Mount Vernon and Burlington Senior Centers and was once selected the RSVP Volunteer of the Year. Son, Carl Newman passed away at 62 years, her siblings all passed before her as well, Doris Peterson, Howard Clair and Mildred Turner. Surviving her are daughters, Beverly Chapman, Mount Vernon, Nancy Joy and husband, Bill, of Birdsview; daughter-in-law, Louise Newman, Mount Vernon; sister-in-law, Lily Glassmeyer, Mount Vernon; 5 generations of descendants in addition to numerous nieces and nephews. Words can barely convey the the appreciation the family has for the staff at Burton Care Center where Florence resided and was so well loved and cared for the past 3 years, as well as County Care in Birdsview the previous 2 years. We ask God's blessing on each and every one. Affectionately called "Fiesty" by residents and staff alike, Florence is sure to be missed. Private interment will be at a later date at Burlington Cemetery. Donations to the Meals on Wheels program through the Burlington Senior Center would be most appreciated. Arrangements are under the care of Lemley Chapel. Published in Skagit Valley Herald Publishing Company on July 22, 2012
