Virginian-Pilot  December 11, 2007
NORFOLK - Florence Dickenson Walker Legge, 94, of the 5900 block of McGinnis 
Circle, passed away Saturday, Dec. 8, 2007.

Mrs. Legge spent the first part of her adult life in the Cheshire, Conn., area as 
a wife and mother to her beloved family. She was a generous volunteer in social 
causes. In 1956, she and her husband and son moved to North Springfield, Va., and 
began a life of extensive travel in Europe and the Western Hemisphere, culminating 
in a three-year residency in Lima, Peru. She worked closely with her husband 
during this period promoting the free labor union movement along democratic lines 
in less developed areas to avoid the advancement of communism and promote the 
freedom of workers everywhere. She remains a central figure in her family's lives 
and is held in admiration, gratitude and love.

She was predeceased by her husband, Wallace J. Legge, and a son, Wallace J. Legge 
Jr., and is survived by a daughter, Patricia Foran, and husband, John, of Norfolk; 
a son, William Legge, and wife, Allison, of Durham, N.C.; five grandchildren and 
their spouses, John and Regina Foran Jr. of Burke, Va., Constance and A. Robertson 
Hanckel Jr. of Charlotte, N.C., Brian and Jennifer Foran of Suffolk, Timothy and 
Yoon Jeong Foran of Jacksonville, Fla., and Tara Foran of Burbank, Calif.; and 
five great-grandchildren, Daniel, Carolyn and Hannah Foran and John and A. 
Robertson Hanckel III. Mrs. Legge was also predeceased by three sisters, Alice 
Walker and Margaret LaBonne and Jean Higgins; and two brothers, Harry Walker Jr. 
and Peter Walker.

A Mass of the Resurrection will be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Friday at St. Gregory 
the Great Catholic Church. Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Indian River Chapel, is 
handling arrangements. Mrs. Legge's family wishes to express their gratitude to 
the entire staff at Marian Manor. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be 
made to a charity of one's choice. Condolences may be offered to the family at
