The daughter of the late Robert and Ida Munro, Mrs. Watt was born May 14, 1903 in Darling Township. She attended Halls Mills School. She was the wife of the late James H. Watt of Lanark Township. They were married at her parents home in Darling Township by Rev. Duncan McColl on September 20, 1921. Dearly loved mother of Erwin of Almonte, Hazel (Mrs. Len Fulton) Pakenham, Russell of Ottawa, Valma (Mrs. Howard Bolger) of Clayton, Jean (Mrs. Logan More), Wilmer and Gladys (Mrs. Carl Currie) all of Almonte and Len of Pakenham.

Interment Clayton United Cemetery. The pallbearers were six grandsons, John Fulton, Brian Bolger, Brent Watt, Garry Watt, Allan Watt, and Steve Currie. Florence's deep religious faith was a great inspiration to all who knew her. Her most cherished times were spent with her many friends, her camera, and her beautiful poems - Her outlook upon life is expressed in this poem, (author unknown) one of her favorites from her collection:
We Too Shall Pass Away
How quickly time is passing!
The seasons come and go.
The summer with its sunshine
The winter with its snow
The springtime with its fragrance
Of bursting bud and bloom,
The short cool days of autumn
All seem to pass too soon!
Our neighbours, friends and loved ones
Their ranks are thinning out,
So many we find missing
Each time we look about.
We, too, are rushing onward,
Our days will soon be o'er,
Our places soon be vacant,
Our voices heard no more.
Will any heart be lighter
Because we've journeyed here?
Oh, are we truly trying
To scatter love and cheer?
To make the way seem brighter
To those we meet each day?
For, like the fleeting season,
We, too, shall pass away!
