Florence "Flo" Shock

Florence “Flo” R. Shock, 85, formerly of Owensboro passed away Thursday, June 20, 2024, at Riverbend Senior Living in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The Marshall County native was born March 9, 1939, to the late Jasper Roach and Lillian Cox Roach. Flo graduated from Marshall County High School, class of 1957. She was employed in many capacities at various restaurants in Owensboro and was the owner and operator of the Ire-Way Diner. Flo loved plants and flowers, reading, and dogs. When deep in thought or worried, she was known to twiddle her thumbs. Flo was a spicey lady but very non-judgmental. Both her and her late husband were excellent cooks who provided delicious meals including BBQ and soups for gatherings of family and friends. 

 In addition to her parents, Flo also was preceded in death by her husband, Stoy Shock in 1999; sons, Steve and Kevin Shock, and Kelly Bartlett; siblings, James Roach and Robbie Meadows. 

 Those left to cherish her memory include her children, Dee Dee Gore of Owensboro, Tracey Gifford (Lori) of Fisherville, Vicki Alvey (Eddy), and Angie Roberts also of Owensboro; eleven grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren; two great, great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews.
