She is the beloved mother of Elaine McFadden and her husband, John of Shelton; and Alice Caple and her husband, William of Ansonia. Florence is also survived by her cherished grandchildren, Francis Eastman, Meghan McFadden, John McFadden IV, Will Caple, Michael Caple, Kaitlyn Caple, Will Smith III, Amy Buckley and several great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her son, Charles Hartmann; her daughter, Doreen Gagner and her brother, James Burke.
