Former local florist dies after heart attack | Local News ... - Fremont Tribune

Lord together—that’s everything.”Longtime area residents, the Storks retired in August 2016 and closed their flower shop in Fremont after 39 years in the floral business.They moved to Nevada to be closer to family.During their time in Nebraska, the Storks had become internationally known for their knowledge of African violets which they grew. They gave lectures at violet societies in Hong Kong and Russia and published a book, “You CAN grow African Violets,” which later was translated into Russian.Yet Kent Stork’s interest in acting began to take root even before he started in the floral business.Originally from Arlington, Kent Stork met his future wife, Joyce, who’s from Gering, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They married in 1970 and were teachers. He taught high school English and speech and directed plays in Lexington for a year before they moved to Lincoln, where he worked in a flower shop.In 1974, he began working at Miles Fremont Greenhouse and Storks opened their own shop in Arlington in 1977. They opened a second shop in Fremont in 1990 and ran both until she had back surgery. The Storks then closed the Arlington shop and moved the entire operation to Fremont.As florists, the Storks created arrangements for weddings, funerals and other occasions. Teens came to the shop to buy corsages for their dates. Joyce Stork said her husband was motivated to make the best — better.“He didn’t just want to make a beautiful arrangement; he wanted it to be a work of art. It was never just an order for him,” she said.Visitors to the store also came to know the Storks’ dogs, like Charlie the dachshund, and more recently, Apollo, the Boston terrier, who playfully greeted joyous customers or comforted those grieving the loss of loved ones.In 2014, Stork had an opportunity to pursue his interest in acting when he played the part of the superintendent in the lively musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” at the Omaha Community Playhouse. He would get more roles.And as time passed, the Storks prepared for retirement.“Once we hit 65, Kent finally knew we needed to be thinking seriously about the retirement and closing the store,” she said.Their new vocation would be as grandparents in Henderson, where their oldest son Zach and his family live.“That was really my dream, because he had such a wonderful theater community at the Omaha Community Play... http://fremonttribune.com/news/local/former-local-florist-dies-after-heart-attack/article_e8839306-6bfd-5087-b0aa-3945cccc2a44.html

Family Chuckle: Bright flowers, brighter memories on Memorial Day - Yakima Herald-Republic

Day is the time I physically remember my Mom and Dad. Of course, I emotionally remember them all year long, but Memorial Day is the time to put flowers on graves.So I call the florist shop in Nevada, Mo., the little town where I was born and where they are buried. If I’m lucky I get an old-timer, sometimes even the one whose grandparents were friends of my parents. She knows which cemetery the flowers are to be delivered to, and what I want: lots of bright flowers in a bouquet for Mom and Dad’s double gravestone. As I picture how it will look, I remember the parents of my childhood.Mom was feisty and hot-tempered. Although she had been dominated all her life, first by a selfish father and then by Dad, who was of the opinion that a woman’s place was in the home — and she’d better have dinner ready when he got home from work — she still could be pushed only so far. We kids sat at the breakfast table in horrified suspense the time she hurled a cast-iron frying pan full of scrambled eggs at Dad’s head. He ducked, and the pan made a hole in the wall behind him. Our fears were relieved when he burst into laughter.Dad handled anger differently. He became icy and remote, and excelled... http://www.yakimaherald.com/lifestyle/family-chuckle-bright-flowers-brighter-memories-on-memorial-day/article_d684a062-432f-11e7-955c-b3e2780c72da.html
