She was a housewife and also worked for American Greetings. A caregiver by nature she took care of many and was always available if anyone needed help or a hand with anything. Florence loved to bowl and has many trophies on display to show her love of the sport. Bingo became her new game of choice until Covid closed things down and she wasn’t able to play any more.

After a stroke and Parkinson’s she has been cared for by her daughter in southern Indiana the past 6 ½ years. THANK YOU to of all who came to visit her, she really appreciated it!
