Florence Gillespie

Liberty, SC

Florence Isler Gillespie “Nannie” of Liberty, SC, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2024, at the fabulous age of 90.

Born in Seneca, SC, on December 20, 1933, she was a devoted homemaker known for her kindness, smile, and loving nature.

A longtime East Side Baptist Church member, Florence found solace and joy in attending Southern Gospel singings, especially “Faithful For” and other community events. She particularly cherished attending Liberty Idol when it was held uptown, showcasing her love for music and community spirit. She was fond of her pets throughout the years, especially chihuahuas. She found joy in bargain shopping and purchasing gifts for others.
