Florence was also very active in the Grand Generation Center, helped with Meals-on-Wheels, Bible study groups, Cloghoppers and various activities and programs in the center.
She was Earl's "right hand man" on the farm and could fix anything from mowers to pickup trucks! She enjoyed growing a large vegetable garden and tending her flower gardens. She loved to travel, read and kept personal journals her entire life. Florence was a friend to all and never met a stranger. She will be so very missed.
