Florence Eichner

Florence F. Eichner, 93, of Butler, formerly of Gibsonia, passed away of natural causes Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, at Butler Memorial Hospital.

Florence was born April 2, 1927, in Pittsburgh. She was the daughter of the late Anthony and Irene Rolewicz Pilarski.

She married Herbert J. Eichner on Aug. 24, 1947.

Florence was an active member of St. Victor Church in Gibsonia, and was a member of the choir for many years before moving to West Sunbury and joining St. Alphonsus (St. Faustina) Parish.

Her great love was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and she attended every event that she could.

In her last years as a resident of New Haven Court of Butler, she made many new friends, and enjoyed her time there.

The family would like to thank everyone at New Haven, for their great care and affection for Florence.
