Florence C. Cavett (nee Ginder), born November 15, 1901, in San Antonio, TX died peacefully on February 24, 2005 at the age of 103. A San Antonio resident most of her life, except for a few years spent in Harlingen, TX, she graduated from Main Avenue High School (now known as Fox Tech). Florence was quite active in the retail pharmacy business during her working years. She ‘retired’ to concentrate on full-time homemaking, with frequent stop-offs for garage sales and flea markets. As a devoted grandmother, she was always ready, willing, and able to babysit her six grandchildren. During her middle years, she assumed an active role in the Sunday School and Vacation Bible School programs at Zion Lutheran Church. Florence was preceded in death by her husband, Jean S. Cavett, in 1970, and by her daughter, B. Ellen Garrison, in 2000. She is survived by her very devoted caregiver, Florence (’Sissy’) Bevill, and by a son, Andrew Cavett and wife Ann, of San Antonio. Also, by 6 grandchildren: Larry Anderson and wife, Debbie, of Azle, TX, Linda Coker and husband, Lenny, of New Braunfels, TX, Jo Ann Goodrich and husband Sam of Muldoon, TX, Andrea Hargreaves and husband, Mark of San Antonio, Sherri Walters and husband, Bubba of Kerrville, TX and Jill Miller and husband, Robert, of Springfield, MO. Also by 10 great-grandchildren, Jenny & Nathan Anderson and wife Amy; Sondy and Trevor Coker; Jeanna and Jamie Goodrich; Austin and Ty Hargreaves; and Ashley and Aaron Walters. Also, by a niece, Georgene Pawlowski, of Manassas, VA, Bill Sterling and wife, Shirley, of Georgetown, TX, and Jim Ginder and wife, Chrystal, of Seguin, TX. The family wishes to thank all of those friends and relatives who have inquired about her condition, and especially those who have come to visit her in the declining years. It meant a lot to her to be ‘fussed over’ as the center of attention. She has lived a long and eventful life, having been almost a teenager when the Titanic sank, having seen the development of many things that we modern-day people take for granted, like automobiles, telephones (her favorite), paved roads and highway systems, airplane travel, television, communication systems, computers, and on and on. It is now time to be reunited with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and with all of those many loved ones who have gone before her. R.I.P., Grandma Flossie SERVICES Visitation will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 PM, Sunday, February 27, 2005 at Mission Park Funeral Chapels North. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM Monday, February 28, 2005 at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 702 Cincinnati, San Antonio, TX with interment to follow at Ft. Sam Houston National Cemetery.
