Florence
G. (Rose) Dunbar, age 84, went to be
with the Lord on Sunday, July 20,
2008 in her Sylvania Township
residence, with her loving family by
her side.
Florence
was a devoted wife and mother, as
well as an enterprising woman who
began her noteworthy career in hair
styling at the Beauty Bar, in the
former Spitzer Building in downtown
Toledo . She then advanced to the
still-operating Pembroke Beauty
Salon which she ultimately
purchased. Florence later designed,
owned, and operated an extraordinary
business called the Florence Salon;
characterized by a fireplace, plush
carpet, and a sparkling chandelier.
Most exceptional before retiring in
1978, Florence was the innovator of
the first salon in Toledo to serve
both men and women- the His &
Her Salon.

widow of Roger G. Dunbar, Florence
