Born in the City of Passaic, NJ on July 11, 1961, to Victor and Rosemary Trentacost. “Flo” as she was lovingly called by her family and friends grew up in Passaic on Autum St in a 3-family home shared with Grandma Russo and later moved to Dakota St. She attended Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School and then graduated from Passaic High School in 1979. She worked at Friendly’s, Jefferson National Bank, and then for many years at Majka Oil Company.  Flo married John (Jake) LoCascio who proceeded her in death 2016 and moved to West Paterson NJ. 

She was often seen wearing flipflops, tee shirts and bright red hair. She loved the Jersey shore, but hated the beach. She enjoyed walking on the boardwalk and eating ice cream and funnel cake. She also loved her trips to AC, traveling to Europe and gambling online. The last 6 years she enjoyed the time spent with Family on Green Island. 

She shared most of her time with her beloved pugs Oliver and Ike. Florence loved her 3 nephews: Patrick her godson, Victor and Louis Trentacost. She never had children, but she loved them like they were her own. She took pride in spending time with her family. She always said how proud she was of her 2 brothers: Patrick Trentacost - City of Passaic Fire Chief and Anthony Trentacost. The last few years she lived with Anthony in Toms River. They were often visited by Anthony’s partner Richie who would care for them both. She lived for her family especially the newest additions: her 2 great nieces Mia and Bianca and she couldn’t wait for the arrival of “Baby Trent.” Flo did not have any sisters but was blessed with the loved she received from her sister-in-law Torrie Trentacost and her 2 nieces Danielle Trentacost and Megan Trentacost. She was also blessed with so many loving cousins and friends.

Flo did not cook or bake but knew how to pick up a phone and order food. The Family would always be waiting to see what was going to be delivered. Her usual was Dunkin' coffee and donuts. On a good day, a crave case would be delivered. She loved to eat. Some of her favorites were smores, bones in the gravy, mac n cheese and hibachi. 

Florence will be missed by those who knew and loved her. Her memories will continue on with the gifts she shared. She always shopped on line and bought large pictures of the kids, tee shirts with crazy pictures and what ever Amazon had on sale that week. To know her was to love her. Florence, Flo, Aunti Flo will be greatly missed……….
