On February 15th Florence Catherine Lund (September 29,1948- February 15, 2023) passed from this life. Florence was born and raised in Yorkville on the east side of Manhattan. The beloved daughter of Augustino and Jane Casella. Florence was the oldest of five children, the only girl and beloved sister of Fr. David ( predeceased) Stephen (predeceased) ,Michael (and sister in law Linda )and Joseph. Florence was a beloved sister in law to Helene (predeceased) and Marlene. Florence was a loving Aunt to Matthew, Katie and Jack. Florence began to date the love of her life and soul mate Ernest Lund (predeceased) when they were 16. Florence and Ernie built quite the life together. They welcomed four children into the world. Christopher, Susan, Andrea and Andrew wanted for nothing as their parents loved them unconditionally and were loving role models. Florence was the rock on which her family was built. She set aside her own career in nursing to stay home and raise her four children.
Florence was a shining example for her children on what love is. Family was everything to Florence. As her children grew and fell in love, Florence welcomed her sons and daughters in law ( Tim, Jen, Kelby and Sam) as her own. They felt Florence’s unconditional love. She took care of everyone; her mother when she battled lung cancer. Her father in law when he suffered a life altering stroke. Most recently her beloved brother Stephen when their father passed away. Mom cared for Stephen until her own illness made this no longer possible. Florence’s greatest joy in life was being the Grandmother to 11 amazing children. Christopher, Brendan, Aiden, Grace, Sean, Sophia, Kristen, Elizabeth, Caroline, Julie and Jude all know how very loved they were by Grandma. She loved every moment she spent with them most especially at her favorite place on earth, Long Beach Island. Many summers were spent in Florence’s happy place where long lasting memories of love were made. Florence will be missed beyond belief, but her children, sons and daughters in law, grandchildren and family will carry on her legacy of love.
Rest well Florence you, above all, have earned your peace.
