HONORED SATURDAY, MAY 3 IN OLD TOWN
\n<\/u><\/h2>\n

Mayor Tim Lowery and the City of Florissant has announced a Plaque Dedication set for Saturday, May 3rd, <\/sup>at 10:00 am. The Plaque will be located on the corner of St. Francois and St. Charles Street, near the Girardier House (601 rue St. Charles Street).<\/p>\n

The time and location were chosen based on Mary\u2019s involvement with the Valley of Flowers for over 30 years. This year\u2019s theme for the Valley of Flowers Festival is \u201cMary, Mary, Quite Contrary, in honor of our Beloved Mary Gettemeier.\u201d This ceremony is set to take place during the Valley of Flowers Festival, tying everything together very nicely.<\/p>\n

The Plaque reads as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMary Gettemeier<\/p>\n

15 October 1948 \u2013 6 August 2023<\/p>\n

Mary Gettemeier was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend to all. As owner of the Flower Pot and as a member of the Valley of Flowers Board, she devoted over 30 years to Florissant. Mary brought creativity, leadership, and a love of service to our community.\u00a0 Mary\u2019s colorful floral arrangements and her thoughtful guidance were integral to the event’s success. Her dedication and impact will always be remembered and will continue to bloom in Florissant\u2019s heart.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
