Florence Brown Dyet passed away in Tucson, AZ on April 27, 2016 in the presence of her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Florence was born on March 24, 1925 in Cass City, MI to Lloyd and Clara Brown.  She grew up on the family Centennial farm in Ubly, MI, which still functions today as a working Dairy Farm.  She graduated from Cass City High School in 1943, then from St. Joseph's Hospital School of Nursing in Mt.
