On the north shore of Big Bear Lake
... in Fawnskin, California, sits a bench, with a plaque that reads:
In Memory of
Florence Butler
October 1925 - December 2023
Lover of nature and science.
Relax and watch the birds.
Flo's daughter, Robin Eliason, wrote 22-Jun-2024:
For years while hiking many trails in North America, my mom Florence Butler would bemoan the lack of benches on trails. Today, I sat on her newly-dedicated bench on the lake shore path and ate chocolates and thought of her life well-lived. I miss her every day.
Here is Robin Eliason's Facebook post of 22-Jun-2024.
