She accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age at Mt Gilliam Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend Jamerson. She now presides under Pastor David Fitzgerald. Florida was a complex yet, simple woman. When she did not care she was quiet, loud when she did. She was a very giving person. She would give you the shirt right off her back. She loved her family and often picked up children that did not belong to her. She was always herself. Always wearing her heart on her sleeve. She took in strangers and called them her own. All that encountered her, fell in love with her. She accepted everyone and looked past their faults. She was one of a kind. God made her special. In life she worked various jobs to care for her family. She was a wiz when it came to finances. She could make a dollar out of 15 cents. She loved watching western movies and listening to old school music. She was married to Charles “Sonny” Tartt. They were happily married many years. She was a God-fearing woman and actively attended church. She was saved and prepared herself to see her Lord when her time came to leave this earthly place.
