Florence S. Croissette, of Haddon Township, NJ, passed away peacefully in her home on August 25, 2020 at the age of 89 years, surrounded by her loving family, and under the care and loving eye of her daughter, Susan Hickman, RN. Beloved mother of Charles Bushyeager (Terri), Susan Hickman (Michael), Elizabeth Bushyeager, and Howard Taylor (Jennifer). Loving grandmother of Jennifer McManus (Jerry), Michael Hickman (Marge), Alison Hickman (fiancée, Steve), Jessica Flinn, Zachary Bushyeager (Ellen), Emily Coleman (Terell), Christian Taylor, and Carly Taylor. Proud great granhdmother of Travis Hickman, Jerry McManus, Madison McManus, Gabrielle Hickman , Joshua McManus, Jacen McManus, and Murren McManus. Florence had a “favorite child” in her miniature schnauzer, Dale. She is also survived by seven nieces and nephews, sister-in-law, Marge Croissette, and a dear cousin, Joanie. Florence was a loving, strong, spunky, outgoing, and feisty woman who always had an open heart and an open home. She never met a stranger, or at least when she did, they didn’t stay a stranger for long. Whether it was someone she met at the grocery store or a delivery man, by the time she made it home, she was able to tell her family all sorts of tidbits about her new friend’s life. Florence loved spending time with her family any chance she got, and when she wasn’t with them, you could be sure she was on the phone with them keeping up with their lives. She loved to laugh and liked to hear and tell jokes. Florence was a devoted Christian and loved her church family at Victory Bible Church, Hammonton, NJ and Christ’s Bible Church, Pennsauken, NJ. She enjoyed watching Pastor Jimmy Swaggart preach and singing along to hymns, her favorite being, “It Is Well With My Soul”. Florence had a great love for music and enjoyed everything from Simon & Garfunkel to Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli. She liked watching the Phillies baseball games and liked to catch episodes of Seinfeld. She was a woman of conviction and never backed down from defending her opinions. In her younger years, Florence liked to cruise and spend time at the beach. Florence will be truly and deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
