After 53-Years Liz’s Flower Shop Sadly Calls It Quits
While we know intellectually that the time will eventually come for all working people to retire, our hearts are still not ready, especially when those retiring are Liz Lassere and Ouida Faucheux. After 53-years in business, Liz Lassere has decided to close Liz’s Flower Shop at the end of August. Liz said her family encouraged her to retire and spend more time with them. Additionally, flowers cost 30 to 50 percent more due to inflation and it’s difficult to find dependable workers, she added. Liz and Ouida have been working together for over 50-years. They understand each other without speaking and could also finish each other’s sentences. They put the needs of the community above the needs of their families, missing important family occasions because they had orders to fill.
