Obituary of Florence Worth

Florence Sneddon Scanlan Worth, 85, of Ewing died peacefully at home on Saturday surrounded by her family. Born in Schuylkill, PA she was a lifelong Trenton area resident. She was employed by the Goodall Rubber Company as a supervisor in the billing department with 31 years of perfect attendance, before her retirement in 1984. Florence, always one to keep busy, stayed active assisting her daughter at the Yardville CYO Day Camp for many years thereafter. Florence, a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, consistently maintained and projected a positive outlook throughout her life no matter what trial and tribulations came her way. Afflicted with polio at the age of 21, and later surviving lymphoma cancer, she continued to live life to its fullest, marrying, raising her children, working and never having doubted her faith or commitment to Christ. In 1951, she was proud to be chosen the Queen of the NJ March of Dimes State Ball.
