Florene K. Wynn Obituary (1928

Florene Wynn, born Lena Florene King, on April 1, 1928 to Elijah and Jenny King in Kendrick Mississippi, passed away Aug. 27,2018 at her home in Liberty Shores in Poulsbo. She has called Kitsap County, mainly Poulsbo, her home since the early 1950's. In Dec 1959, her and her husband Richard and their three children moved to their farm on Central Valley Rd. While working as a computer operator for the government, she took cake decorating classes. Many weddings in Kitsap County have been graced by her beautiful cake. On sunny summer days, you could find her four grandchildren at the end of their driveway with their stand, selling fresh produce grandpa had picked from the garden for them to sell. You could stop by and even buy a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. Even with all the many flowers she had, the dahlias were always her favorite. Many a car has stopped along the road just to take pictures of all the beautiful flowers they grew. When her daughter Jennie opened a bakery in Kingston, Florene took her love of flowers and started a small shop in the corner of the bakery. Florene had still been working her full-time job with the government at that time, so when she retired in 1988 she was able to devote all her time to her flowers. When the bakery closed in 1990, she opened her own shop, The Cut and Dried Flower Shop, in the old Sears building in Kingston. When she outgrew that space, she moved to the Kountry Korner building where she continued to create her amazing arrangements until her stroke lead to its closure in 2009. Florene was preceded in death by her husband Richard (2004), her Mother (Jennie King), her sister (Earlene Scott) and brother (Elmer King). She is survived by her brother (Michie king), daughters Charlotte Wynn and Virginia (Jennie) Foss, and son Duane Wynn. She also has four grandchildren Melisa Wynn, Richard Wynn, Justin Foss, Jamie Djordjevic and 2 great-grandchildren Katavina and Karlchen Djordjevic.
