Obituary
Florence Maurizi (nee Harrington), age 81, of Summit, formerly of Englewood and Weehawken, NJ, passed away peacefully on Monday April 27, 2020. Florence was the beloved wife of the late Rudolph (1993). Devoted mother of the late William (2004), Christopher and his wife Antonia, and Robert and his wife Katherine. She was a cherished grandmother to Christina, Elsa, Rudolph, Nicholas, Vincent, Thomas, Anthony, and Francis Maurizi.
Florence was a dear sister to the late John Harrington (2003) and his wife Pearl, a loving sister-in-law to Marie Chaseman and her husband Stephen, and a cherished aunt to Thomas, Matthew, and Robert Chaseman.
Florence was born to William and Florence Harrington and raised in Washington Heights, NY. She was a lifelong dog-lover and a voracious reader. She enjoyed matinees at the opera and the theater and classic movies at home.
She had a keen sense of people and of life, an acerbic wit, and a remarkable aesthetic and sense of style. She loved a celebration, giving gifts, and put amazing energy and thought into how to help make that celebration even better for all involved. Her infectious laugh made it known that life was in full swing.
In quieter times, Flo enjoyed finishing the Sunday New York Times crossword puzzle, or tending to the beautiful flower & shrub gardens that brought her so much joy over the course of her life.
Services will be private. The family will plan a memorial celebration once current restrictions are lifted—Flo loved a party!
