Flo was a former long-time member of the Catholic Daughters of America and a lifetime member of the Women's Auxiliary of the Disabled Veterans of America. She was also an active member of the Onslow Craft Guild for many years where she participated in many craft shows, displaying her beautiful handiwork of crocheting, crewel embroidery, knitting, cross stitching, stuffed animals, ceramics, copper tooling and dolls. Bingo was also a favored pastime with her young children at the SNCO Club & Catholic Church. Being an accomplished seamstress, she made a lot of her daughter's clothes and all the children's Halloween costumes. She would see an item in a clothing store and be able to make a duplicate with a pattern from the local fabric stores. She worked part time at Sears in New River Shopping Center in the layaway dept., plus was the store's custom Easter basket maker and gift wrapper for many years. She loved watching basketball, football, and baseball games on TV while working on her handiwork, attending a few professional and college games throughout the years and also cheered at her sons' Little League games and daughter's softball games.
Flo was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, CWO4 Joseph G. Navolanic, USMC(Ret.), her brothers Albert & Mickey plus her 7 sisters, Veronica, Agnes, Julie, Helen, Blanche, Mary, & Violet. She is survived by daughter Florence Butler & her husband Joe, grandchildren Christine & Joe E., greatgrandchildren Josh, Blake, Jackson & Heather, greatgreatgrandchildren William, Mason, Mattie & Eli of Nesbit, MS; son Joseph of Greensboro, NC; son Raymond of Cumming, GA; son Michael of Willow Springs, NC & grandsons John of San Diego Naval Base & Kevin of Raleigh, NC; & daughter Christine Weaver & her husband Jeff of Jacksonville, NC.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30 am Friday, June 26, at Infant of Prague Catholic Church, followed by burial at the Coastal Carolina Veterans Cemetery. The family will receive friends 30 minutes prior to the service in the church vestibule.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be sent in her name to Lower Cape Fear Hospice, 1414 Physicians Drive, Wilmington, NC 28401 or Possumwood Acres Wildlife Sanctuary, 119 Doe Drive, Hubert, NC 28539 (possumwoodacres.org).
The family would like to especially thank the aides and SICs at Onslow House for the special care provided to our Mother during her stay, plus the chaplain, social worker, aides and RNs of Lower Cape Fear Hospice for the extra comfort and healthcare needs during her advanced illness.
