Florence Mae Ross Obituary
Florence Mae Fuller Ross, 91, passed away on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 at Vestal Park Rehab & Nursing Center.
She was born on June 4, 1934 in Cook Falls, NY. Florence was raised by her grandparents, Minnie Mae (Elmore) and Clyde Fuller.
In 1951 she was part of the graduating class at Roscoe Central School. On October 7, 1951 she married Lee Ross. Together they raised three sons, Robert, Paul, Glen and a daughter Ella Mae.
Through the years Florence has worked several jobs, as a teachers' assistant at the Greenlawn School in Bainbridge for 33 years, for an after school latch key program, summers at the Oquaga Creek State Park, then over forty years at the Sidney McDonalds. She served generations of families who would tell her she served them their first "Happy Meal" and now she was giving their child their first "Happy Meal".
Florence enjoyed traveling on bus tours to NYC to see Broadway shows, taking ocean cruises, going to Holland to see the tulips, the giant Sequoias in California, hot air balloons in New Mexico and spending time at Black Lake with her granddaughter Stacia and great grandson, Nicholas. She was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan.
Her hobbies included doing embroidery, cross stich and collecting snowmen.
Florence is survived by her children, 10 grandchildren: Stacia, Beth Anne, Jeremiah, Travis, Denise, Kristine, Carson, Glen Jr., Timothy, and Enoch and several great grandchildren, and a great, great granddaughter; her siblings, Vance McEntee and Mark Hinman and a sister Shirley Froehlich.
She was predeceased by her beloved dog of 17 years, Dallas, her former husband, Lee, her in-laws, Verna (Heinman) and Richard Ross, her grandparents, mother Amy, two brothers Donald and David McEntee, and a sister Margaret McEntee.
