She had a great time bowling in leagues with her husband and received many trophies.

Florence was a great homemaker. She was well known for her baked goods and homemade candy, which she enjoyed sharing with others. Florence also enjoyed making latch hook rugs. Many a summer Florence would be found working in her vegetable garden. After Charles'' death on June 27, 1984, Florence became a crossing guard and helped with the Senior Citizen''s Program. She resided in Utah until her later years when she moved to Boise, Idaho.

Our Mother was a very caring, loving person who always gave unselfishly. She devoted her life to her family. Mom was so full of energy and life and set wonderful examples for us to follow.
