FLORENCE HATCH
WAUPACA, WISCONSIN Florence Rita (Connelly) Hatch, born August 18, 1924 to Matthew and Nellie (Sweeney) Connelly, was called home to the Lord on November 17, 2012. She was raised in Chicago and worked during WWII while the soldiers protected our country. She held many accounting positions in the Zion, IL area. Her love for the outdoors and the lake was fulfilled in the many wonderful years she lived on Long Lake, Waushara Co., Saxeville, WI. She married the Light of her Life, John M. Hatch on May 26, 1946. Florence was a founding member of Our Lady of Humility Church in Zion, IL and a member of the women's club at OLH. She was Den Mother and Girl Scout leader to many. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. She will be missed immensely.

They were all as precious to her, as she was to them. She was preceded in death by her parents, Matthew and Nellie Connelly; a son, William M. Hatch; and her siblings, Ella Mae Collins, Matthew Connelly, and Patricia Lafond.
