Ribeiro on her recent passing this past week. Flo was larger than
life with he golden personality and her wonderful smile. Flo was
mother to former Somerville Police Officer James Ribeiro and she
was wife to everybody’s good friend, the Late Gil Ribeiro. She
worked at Somerville District Court for 25 years and was the first
woman in Masachusetts to be appointed a constatble for the City of
Somerville Flo was a very nice lady and will be sadly missed by
many here in the Ville!
