Our family is saddened to announce the passing of our dear mother, Florence Marie Zagata, on April 8, 2021, at the age of 93. We are thankful to Hospice of Michigan and to God for helping us through this difficult time.
Flo was born January 17, 1928, in Hamtramck, MI, to Wanda and Michael Kostanecki.
Flo met the love of her life, Edward, at a church dance and agreed to marry him on September 2, 1950. They spent nearly sixty-two years living in their first and only home in St. Clair Shores, MI, where they raised their family. Flo and Ed loved spending time at their up-north retreat on the banks of the Sturgeon River in Wolverine.
