On November 6th, 2020, we said good-bye to our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Florence Evelyn Deschamplain, at the tender age of 98 years. She was born to the late Wilfred and Clara Manville in Providence, Rhode Island on June 13, 1922. Her formative years were in Burrillville, R.I., where she was voted most Attractive Student in her Senior Class at Burrillville High School. Graduating in 1939, Florence worked as a secretary at the Walt Kaiser Shipyard in Providence, Rhode Island, during the trying years of World War II, where she met the love of her life, Norman Deschamplain. They married in 1943, and with a mutual spirit of love & adventure moved to Connecticut where they bought the historical Maple Ridge Farmhouse on 4 acres of land in Farmington. Over the next several years beginning in the mid 1960’s, their collective vision to renovate the homestead came to fruition as it became an oasis for friends and family alike.
