Florence Shearon, formerly of Borger, TX went to be with the Lord on March 20, 2014 after a seven month stay in a continuing care facility in Dunedin, FL. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Mike Shearon and is survived by her daughter, Sandra Esely of Dunedin, FL, son, Mike Shearon and daughter-in-law Nancy Shearon of San Diego, CA. She is also survived by five granddaughters, nine great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

Prior to living in the care facility Florence lived with her daughter “Sandy” for the last twelve years. Before making the move from Texas to Florida she was an avid traveler who had been virtually around the world. She loved to visit her family in California and spoke often of how much she loved the beautiful beaches there.
She will be interred beside her husband in Highland Park Cemetery, Borger, TX.
