Florence G Pinder

Florence Gillespie Pinder went to be with her Lord on August 27, 2023, in Kerrville, Texas.  Florence, or “Flo” as she was known to those who knew and loved her, was born on February 12, 1943 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  Flo married Donald H. Pinder on November 26, 1960 in Elkton, Maryland.  In 1972 they moved with their family to Center Point, Texas. 

Flo immediately went to work at Center Point ISD, where she remained for 33 years and was an active and devoted member of the Center Point United Methodist Church.  An avid Scrabble and Pinochle player, Flo loved to play as often as possible with her siblings and family.  

She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, Sarah and Theodore Parks, brother Erskine Gillespie, sisters Jeanette Lighthall, Carol Williams, and Elizabeth Chapman.  Flo is survived by her four loving daughters Karen D. Wigington, Robin D. Kling and fiance Roger Kolodziejcyk, Kimberly A. Pinder and partner Betsy Hamilton, and Audra Pinder Smith and spouse Edward Smith, seven grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren, brother Robert Gillespie, and sisters Mary Costa, Sue Rosier, Madeline Hubbard, and Debbie Parks and many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations will be accepted at the celebration of life to support the Center Point H.S. Band.
