Florence Ann Carpenter entered this world on January 14, 1935 at Providence, Rhode Island. She joined Darius "Bud" in holy matrimony on September 18, 1954. Florence spent many years as a homemaker and mother, yet managing also to drive a school bus in Exeter, RI for 15 years. After the passing of her husband Bud, Florence became actively involved in volunteer work with the Warwick Senior Center in Rhode Island. Relocating to Vernon Parish in 2003, Ms. Flo (as she was known to many) became involved in the Vernon Council on Aging, serving as a board member, Byrd Senior Circle and AARP. She volunteered at the Woodlands Retirement Center for two years prior to becoming a resident. She attended First Baptist Church, thoroughly enjoying her Sunday School class. In addition to making jewelry, Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, Ms. Flo enjoyed gardening, reading, traveling, eating crawfish, time with her family, and sunsets on Lake Vernon.
Ms. Flo graduated from this life very peacefully on Saturday, September 15, 2012. Those left to celebrate her life include her son Bob Allen and his wife Debra Holler-Allen of Leesville, son David Allen and wife Tammy of Breaux Bridge, LA, son Nathan Allen and wife Nicole of Wildomar, CA, several grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and many, many friends.
