In Loving Memory: Florence Marie Walker Hood

GoFundMe Initiative:
In Lieu of flowers, the Walker family is requesting donations be made in memory of Flo. 100% of the proceeds will be distributed to organizations supporting women’s mental health initiatives in honour of our beloved Florence Marie Walker.
The family has initiated the creation of a memorial fund to honour and celebrate the life of Florence moving forward, with the mission of helping other women struggling with similar battles. The memorial fund will eventually replace this page once finalized (with more details to follow). In the meantime, please help us celebrate the life of our dear Flo with a donation that will help spread her loving and caring nature to others who are struggling at this time.

With Love - The Walker Family

Obituary: Florence Marie Walker

“Maw” – Mother of Fun

Born September 27th 1964 – March 14th 2022

Florence, born in Galt ON to James Kenneth Hood and Marion Elizabeth Hood (James), passed away on Monday evening. She was the youngest full of life child of 7 children, Vera, Dianne, Donald, Meredith, Bonnie and Dorene (Doe-Doe). Florence leaves behind her best friend, her superhero, her beloved husband Todd James Walker who stood by her side and loved her everyday of her life. She also leaves behind her 5 children, Carlie, Jenna, Stuart, Georgia and Virginia whom brought so much light and joy to her life. Florence, better known as “Maw” to many, lived a life full of joy she touched everyone she ever met. Florence could walk into a room and light it up, she was proud of how quickly she could get people to dance – she was contagious! She would wake up everyday, and made sure to make time for first - coffee with Todd, then you had to get outside – and get your hands dirty and your cheeks rosy… she loved the smell of outside on people. Even if you were shovelling a pond or lifting bails of hay she loved to make anything a work out – she’d say “your workouts right here”. As high as her highs were, they were also matched with some lows. In the last 17 months, she battled severe depression but she is now at peace. She would want you to know that when she lived, she lived big – she was the perfect example of living life to the fullest. Flo and Todd never stopped dreaming, between raising five children, restoring 7 homes, and creating YeeHaw Adventure Farm (a destination which sole purpose was to make people laugh and smile), because that’s all she wanted. So, as Flo would say… “Get outside and play today”
