Florence Gruver, 87, passed away peacefully at home on May 25, 2026 with her loving family by her side. Florence lived in Mansfield Township, NJ with her late husband, Harry for 37 years, coming from Blairstown, NJ.
Florence was born in Monroe County, PA on August 30, 1938 to the late Frank and Mary Kindrew of Pennsylvania.
Florence, also known as Nan, was the true heart of her family. Her greatest joy came from watching her family grow and she welcomed each new generation with open arms and an abundance of affection. She lived a beautiful life and got to see five amazing generations of her legacy. Florence is known for her love and affection for everyone.

May 27, 2026 at 9:41 pmI’m so very sorry to hear of Aunt Florence’s passing. She now joins Uncle Harry, my dad Don& my mom Betty in heaven with Jesus as well as many other loved ones.
I have fond memories of Aunt Florence as Uncle Harry would pick up eggs for us in Walnut Valley & their family would deliver them to us in Hope. We shared many wonderful times together during holidays & summer picnics.
Aunt Florence was a great cook & had a schedule for meals-Sunday was steak, Monday was chicken, Tuesday was pork chops-always meat, potatoes, & vegetables. And of course-Dessert!
I look forward to seeing you again someday, Aunt Florence. Love you, Donna
