Florence "Flossie" M. Carlino

North Hampton — Florence “Flossie” Marion Carlino, 103, of North Hampton, passed away peacefully on August 29, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born on January 16, 1922, in Salisbury, NH, she was the daughter of Jennie Hansen Street and Everett Street, Sr. Florence grew up in Greenland, NH, alongside her sister Helen Tapley and brothers Harold and Everett Street. She cherished her New England roots throughout her long and meaningful life. She married the love of her life, David Wallace Carlino, Sr., with whom she shared 67 years of devoted marriage. Together, they built a life centered on love, devotion, and joy while raising their family. During World War II, Florence worked as a riveter, contributing proudly to the nation’s efforts. Later, she and David ran a food truck business, delighting fairgoers across New England with their famous Pennsylvania Dutch funnel cakes. Florence was predeceased by her beloved husband, David; her children, Susan Boynton and David Wallace Carlino, Jr.; her sister, Helen Tapley; and her brothers, Harold and Everett Street. She is survived by her daughter, Dianne Sullivan, and son-in-law John Sullivan of The Villages, FL; her son-in-law, Paul Boynton of Orlando, FL; and her daughter-in-law, Jane Carlino of Exeter, NH. She will be lovingly remembered by her grandchildren: David Carlino III and his wife April, Sara Carlino and her fiancé Eric Schuler, Josh Boynton and his wife Rachel, Molly Hoffman and her husband Jason, Timmy Boynton and his husband Alvin, Sean Sullivan and his wife Becky, and Kristen Sullivan. Florence’s legacy continues through her nine great-grandchildren: Anna, Kate, and David Carlino IV; Liam and Hannah Sullivan; Grace and Andrew Boynton; and Cash and Ty Hoffman. Florence will be remembered for her loyalty, kindness, strength, and generosity. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she found her greatest pride in caring for her family. She was also a gifted cook and baker, and her home was filled with cherished traditions: breakfasts with white Pepperidge Farm bread, tea parties with her treasured china, and Easter dinners featuring her homemade ravioli, ricotta pies, and stuffed artichokes. She delighted her family with pies, cookies, doughboys, and baked beans, and she always welcomed them with warmth and style. Florence loved to shop and took great joy in hosting family gatherings. Above all, she was most proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, who were her greatest joy. Her life was a true testament to love, devotion, and joy. The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Partridge House for their kindness and support during Florence’s final years. A private family burial will be held at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Greenland, NH, where Flossie will be laid to rest beside her beloved husband.
