ROKA, Florence: Has ended her battle with Alzheimers on May 12, 2015, at the age of 89. She spent the last 10 years of her life at the Springvalley care home. She was predeceased by her husband Emil, who passed away September 1996. Originally from Germany, she moved to Winnipeg with Emil, in 1953, and then to Kelowna BC, in 1990. Florence always had a smile on her face. She was a very caring and generous person, and the door to her home was always open as she loved being with people. Music and dancing was a big part of her life, she was always the life of the party. She leaves behind two daughters, Margaret and Connie, and a close friend, Wendy, whom she loved and felt was like her third daughter. She also leaves behind 4 grandchildren, Debbie, Sandy, Cheryl, and Sean. She is now dancing the Czardas with Emil in heaven, and raising her glass saying "Laheim". She was greatly loved and will be sadly missed.
