Florence Marie Houde
January 28, 1923 — January 21, 2020
Florence "Penny" Marie (Dubuc) Houde, 96, of North Attleboro, MA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 21, 2020 at the Madonna Manor Nursing Home in North Attleboro. She was the beloved wife of the late Oscar Joseph Houde who passed away on August 14, 2016.
Born on January 28, 1923 in Pawtucket, RI, she was the daughter of the late Omar Joseph Dubuc and the late Gladys Maryjane (King) Dubuc.
Raised and educated in Pawtucket, she was a graduate of Pawtucket West High School. Florence was employed as a Jewelry Assembler for various area manufacturers in the Attleboro area before retiring.
Florence previously lived in Attleboro for more than fifty years. A woman of faith and devotion, she was a longtime member of St. Mark Church in Attleboro Falls.
She truly cherished her role as a homemaker and as Oscar's wife, and loved spending time with her family, especially at the family's cottage in Plymouth, MA. She enjoyed playing cards, cooking and baking, and later in life learning to play golf.
Florence was the loving mother of Gregory O. Houde and his wife, Bonnie S. Dowling, of Wakefield, RI; Janice M. Glanvill and her husband, William John Glanvill, of Riverside, RI; and Douglas J. Houde and his wife, Cheryl A. Houde, of North Smithfield, RI. She was the proud and adoring grandmother of eight grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren. Florence was predeceased by her siblings: Joseph Dubuc, Julien Brian Dubuc, and Alice Hagen Poling. She leaves several nieces and nephews and many dear friends.
