She is survived by: sons, Michael F. (Sharla), Edward W. (Chiara), and Stephen A. (Erin); granddaughters, Amelia, Henrietta and Anna; and sister, Denise Ward. She graduated from Dunbarton College of Holy Cross, and, after graduation taught French.  Since their wedding in 1970, Mrs. Floyd and her late husband lived in the Society Hill section of Philadelphia where they actively participated in that historic neighborhood’s redevelopment.  Mrs. Floyd was passionate about anything and everything in Philadelphia, from civic engagement to the Eagles. She instilled a love of learning in her sons, and she herself was an enthusiastic reader of biographies and history, always happy to have a lively conversation about her most recent read.
