Florence J Kottlowski

Florence Chrisco Kottlowski joined her late husband, Frank, on Sunday, May 30, 2010. She had been under hospice care. Her family wishes to thank all care givers for their wonderful care of her during these past few months. She was born on July 12, 1924, in Walla Walla, Washington. She met her husband Frank during WWII and they married in 1945. They were married for 55 years. Socorro, NM, was her home for most of her life. Her cremains will be intered with Frank at the National Cemetery in Santa Fe, NM. She is survived by her sister, Dorothy Ewbank, and sister-in-law, Cissie Chrisco. She leaves behind her three daughters, Karen Harvey, Jan Wallace, and Dianna Shoderbek. She was especially fond of her sons-in-law, Albert Harvey; and David Schoderbek; but reserved a special place for her grandchildren, Adam Harvey (Angie); Benjamin Harvey (Stacy); Zachariah Wallace (Tanya); Donald Schoderbek (fiancé, Maddie); and Florence Schoderbek; as well as her great grandchildren, Rick; Kate; Frank; and Olivia. She was a lifelong volunteer in the public schools and she helped start a local thrift store in the 1970’s. She spent many happy Tuesdays working there. It is thriving today. She also loved to plant things and her yard is filled with several different kinds of fruit trees, flowers, vegetables, and herbs. She was a kind, gentle, generous soul and will be missed, especially her quiet sense of humor and her lively political debates.
