I've been a friend of Floy's since high school & we had many fun times together. She had a wonderful sense of humor up to the end! I will miss visiting her when we are back in Platteville area & am so sorry I won't be able to be there for the "celebration of life". My condolences for her family. Toni

I had lost contact with Floy Ann after t I left platteville but I work for her in her Salon in the up stairs of dicks before I moved away. . I worked with her from 1972 till the fall of 1974 and I loved every minute of it. She was wonderful and a joy to work with. And I used to get green eggs from her dad. Which my children loved thanks to Dr. Seuss. Green eggs and ham. They were all wonderful and fun to be with.

I was employed by Floy Ann in 1986. My first hair dresser job. Floy taught me a lot. She was bubbly and had a humerous personality. I think Floy Ann had to of created good memories for all whom she encountered. Rest in peace Floy Ann.
