In Loving Memory of

Jeanette Tsan-Ying Florence

(Maiden: Wong)
of Edmonton
Jul 21, 1943 - Aug 24, 2012

 

 

Wayne and family I did not realize until today when reading the Alberta RN magazine that Jeanette had passed away. Jeanette was one of my instructors at the university when I completed my post RN studies. She was such an exceptional person, very gifted and talented. It was an honor to learn from her. With my deepest sympathies, Alison Morin

I did not know Jeanette but was awestruck by her credentials and her wonderful passion for nursing and educating others. She certainly was highly respected and a most gracious person and had a wonderful career. Jeanette was a rare individual by the life story told in her obituary. I did not know her, or her family, but I saw that she has relatives with my last name and I would appreciate hearing from any of the Rapaich group to see if we are related in any way.

Mrs. Florence made a lasting impression on me when I did my nurse's training at the Royal Alex (Class of '74). Her reputation was for being 'tough'. That meant she had very high expectations for her students. The same high standards she held herself to. When you had her for your rotation you just wanted to meet her expectations. She stood out amongst the many instructors. Mrs. Florence was my favorite. The nursing profession has lost a woman of amazing knowledge, integrity and professionalism. My deepest sympathies to the family for the loss of a wife, mother, grandmother.
