Florence was baptized, confirmed, and was a lifetime member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Altamont. Florence and Fred owned and operated the Altamont Bakery in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Florence was blessed with a beautiful singing voice, and she was a member of the Immanuel Lutheran Church choir for many years. She enjoyed all music, especially Sousa marches, and going to every concert and sporting event that her children and grandchildren were involved in. She loved to read and do crossword puzzles and have get-togethers with family and friends for a rousing game of dominoes or cards. She was well-known for her baking and sewing abilities and worked as a seamstress for many years.
