Florine Booker Haskins passed peacefully from this life on Saturday, April 11, 2026 at Centra
Hospital in Farmville, Virginia, at the age of 91, to her eternal home. She was surrounded by
love.
Florine was born on July 4, 1934, in Rice, Virginia, to the late Cecil and Hattie Booker. She
accepted Christ at an early age at Macedonia Baptist Church in Rice, Virginia and carried her
faith with her throughout her life.

Florine was a devoted mother, grand-mother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother, sister,
and aunt. She became known for her strength, wisdom, and deep love for her family. She was a
woman who stayed busy. Florine lived a life full of purpose, always giving whether caring for
her home, sharing stories of her favorite TV soap operas, or bringing loved ones together. She
found joy in life’s simple pleasures, including fishing, visiting yard sales, and being a familiar
face at County Line Market in Rice. Above all, she cherished every moment spent with those she
loved.
Over the years, Florine always made room for her family, pouring into each generation with her
