Florence Musselman

Florence Musselman, age 87, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on July 8 at Dublin Methodist Hospital.  She was born in Guyan Township, Gallia County, Ohio but spent the last 80 years living in Harrisburg/Orient, Ohio.  Florence was a fun loving lady, and nothing was more important than talking to, laughing with, and spending time with her family and friends.

 

Florence took great pride in her role as a farmer’s wife - planning and feeding all who worked and played around the farm.

As the first full time FEMALE bus driver for Westfall school district, Florence LOVED the children on her bus. She also took great pride as a sub & full time Orient Rural Mail Carrier for 20+ years.
