Florence was born and raised in Lincoln, moved to
Wisconsin and Texas during her second marriage. She
had many jobs besides being a mom, including legal
secretary, telephone operator, receptionist, retail
clerk, cook, bartender and many more. She returned
to Lincoln in 1987 after the death of her husband to
be with her family and friends.
She lived a full life and celebrated her 90th

much by all of her family, including her faithful
companion, Macy, her cat.
One of her greatest loves was dancing. She always

her grandchildren's weddings.
The family would like to thank her loving and
committed caregiver Anita Boling and her family.
