Florence E. "Flo" Smollon, 90, a 20-year resident of Annapolis and previously of Davidsonville and Severna Park, MD, passed away on October 9, 2017, at Anne Arundel Medical Center.
Born on August 22, 1927, in Brooklyn, NY to the late William and Louise Kelly, Flo cherished her vocation as a wife and mother.

Flo was a member of the Republican Women's Club, Harbor Hills Garden Club, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Severna Park and Holy Family Catholic Church in Davidsonville. She enjoyed china painting, stained glass and instructing adult reading classes. Her greatest passion though was spending time with her family.
In addition to her parents, Flo was preceded in death by her loving husband of 65 years, Frank John Smollon, Jr. who died in 2012; two of her children, Gregory Smollon and Karen Hill; two brothers, William and Donald Kelly and her sister, Dorothy LeValley.
