WESTERLO — Florence “Flossie” J. Bichteman died peacefully on Monday, April 6, 2020, after an extended battle with Parkinson’s disease. She was 92.

Born on Oct. 26, 1927, she was the daughter of the late David Stott and the late Mary J. White. She was married to the late William F. Bichteman Sr. for more than 72 years.

“Flossie was an active member of the Clarksville Community Church and faithfully maintained the prayer chain until her husband’s death in 2018,” her family wrote in a tribute. “She was an avid reader. Her interests included sewing and crafting and spending time with her children and their families.”

She is survived by her two children, William F. Bichteman Jr. and his wife, Mary Pat, and Paula Clemens, and by her six grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.

Respecting the coronavirus mandates for gatherings, the burial will be private. “The family regrets this, understands that some may not attend due to health concerns, and holds no hard feelings against those who are unable to attend,” her family wrote.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Clarksville Community Church, Box F, Clarksville, NY 12041.
