Florence M. "Flossie" Hess, 86, of Willow Street, passed away on February 12, 2019 at Lancaster General Hospital with her family by her side. Born and raised in Lancaster, she was the daughter of the late Mark Hostetter and Beulah (Hershey) Hostetter and the wife of the late Richard "Dick" Hess, who passed in 2017 shortly after celebrating 63 years of marriage. A graduate of Manheim Township, Class of 1950, Flossie first went to work in the payroll dept. for Moore Farms followed by 33 years in the same roll for Buck Iron Company. Flossie's true passion in life was crafting. She was a truly skilled artist and could make something beautiful out of anything. She was an avid stamp collector and shared an interest in antiques with her husband. Together, Flossie and Dick, traveled across the country and took several enjoyable trips to Barbados. She was a member of the Eastern Star and once served as a worthy matron. Flossie was also a member of West Willow United Methodist Church. Flossie is survived by her son, Michael A. Hess, married to Elizabeth Rutkowski of Harding, PA, her grandson, Andrew M. Hess, her twin brother, Floyd Hostetter, her sister Dorothy Hostetter, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Richard "Dick" Hess, her parents, Mark and Beulah Hostetter, brothers; Edwin and James Hostetter, her sister Elizabeth Glick, step-mother Irene Hostetter, step-brother Douglas Stoner, and step-sister Gloriann Peters.
