Virginian Pilot November 10, 1997

Florence Ferebee Hasler, 97, of Westminster-Canterbury of Virginia Beach, died 
on Sunday, Nov. 9, 1997, in her residence.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur Richard Hasler, and her son, 
Arthur Richard Hasler Jr.
Born in 1900 in Norfolk, she was the daughter of the late Moses Cason Ferebee 
and Nettie Spalding Ferebee. She graduated from Maryland College and attended 
graduate school at Columbia University in New York.
After marrying in 1924, she moved to Mount Vernon, N.Y. There she was active in 
her church, serving as the president of the Woman's Association, Sunday School 
teacher and superintendent of the Junior Department. She also served on the 
boards of the Visiting Nurses Association and the Martha Wilson Home for the 
Aged.
In 1946, she and her husband returned to Norfolk and became active members of 
Epworth Methodist Church. She was an officer and teacher in the Church School, a 
member of the Women's Board of the Lydia Roper Home, officer of the executive 
board of the Norfolk City Union of The King's Daughters, a member and leader of 
the Daisy Chain Circle of Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters and an 
officer of the Needlework Guild in Norfolk.
After moving to Westminster-Canterbury as one of the first residents in 1982, 
she joined Baylake United Methodist Church. She delighted in needlework, oil 
painting, handmade greeting cards and bridge. She exhibited her oil paintings 
several times in the Boardwalk Art Show. Even in recent years, she continued her 
volunteer service as a member of the Board of Virginia Beach Art Association and 
a tutor to young children in the Virginia Beach public schools.
Mrs. Hasler is survived by her daughter, Janet Hasler Dodson of Norfolk; two 
grandchildren, Wilson B. Dodson III and Lee Hasler Dodson; and two great-
grandchildren, Jessica Ann Dodson and Katherine Berry Dodson.
A graveside memorial service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Wednesday in Elmwood 
Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Virginia 
Wesleyan College. Cox Funeral Home is handling arrangements.
