Florence C. Ruffini, 78, of Camillus, passed away Saturday at home. She was born in Greenwich Village, New York City, on April 22, 1933. One of seven children to proud Irish parents, John and Irene Larkin, she grew up in a family whose devotion to one another was as great as the poverty they shared. Florence's ability to see goodness and humor in life and her undying faith that God would always provide endeared her to everyone who had the good fortune to meet her. Surviving are her husband of 57 years, Philip H. Ruffini; sons, Philip (Jean Delia) Ruffini of Fayetteville and Louis (Deborah Mather) Ruffini of Camillus; and loving daughters, Jane (Joe Billings) Ruffini of Camillus and Gia (Kevin Sadowski) Ruffini of Syracuse. Florence was also the loving grandma to 12 grandchildren and great-grandmother of two. Relatives and friends may call Tuesday from 3 to 7 p.m. at Buranich Funeral Home, 5431 W. Genesee Street, Camillus. Services will be 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the funeral home and 10 a.m. in Holy Family Church, where a funeral Mass will be celebrated. Florence will be laid to rest in Greenlawn Cemetery, Warners. Contributions may be made to Silver Fox Senior Social Club, 22 E. Genesee St., Baldwinsville, NY 13027.
