Florence Zeno

October 16, 2020

Florence (DeBellis) Zeno, 94, died on October 16, 2020 at Summerhill Assisted Living in Peterborough, NH. Flo, born in Boston, was a working mother who raised two children with her husband, John R. Zeno, Sr., in the Boston area. She and her husband later moved to Dunedin, FL where she lived for 40 years. Her husband and son, John R. Zeno, Jr., died when Flo was 65 years old. She continued to work until the age of 70, retiring from a 30-year career as a bank teller. After retiring from banking, she began working as a crossing guard for Pinellas County, FL until she was 82 years old. Flo was an active member of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Dunedin. She found great enjoyment in working as a volunteer usher at Ruth Eckerd in Clearwater, Fl. Flo filled her life with work, volunteerism, personal growth activities and spending happy days on the beach with friends. She relocated to New Hampshire in 2015 to be near her daughter and son-in-law, Lynda and Carl Mabbs-Zeno, of Peterborough. She endeared herself to everyone she met with her humor and affectionate nature. She received exceptional, loving care at Summerhill. Her family was greatly comforted knowing how well she was cared for at Summerhill during this period of restricted family visitation due to COVID safety protocols. She is greatly missed by her family and those who cared for her. An interment service will be held on December 5, 2020 at 10:00 AM at Curlew Hills Memory Gardens in Palm Harbor, FL. Family will not be able to attend, but friends are welcome. Memorial contributions may be made to Our Lady of Lourdes, Dunedin.
