Florence enjoyed drawing, reading, gardening, fishing, playing bingo and loved playing practical jokes. For many years Florence and her husband took care of Lick Creek Cemetery by hand. She would take scissors and go around each monument just to make sure everything looked perfect. What meant the most to Florence was spending time with her family and friends. Florence was a loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother, aunt, great aunt, great-great aunt, sister-in-law, cousin and friend to everyone she ever met.
