| Notes |
- Florence moved as a small child from Florida to Corpus Christi, Texas. She graduated from high school there in 1919. Shortly afterwards the great hurricane that devastated the city also destroyed her family’s home and business. She moved to Waco to attend Toby’s Business College. She did office work and later became manager of an apartment building. She married Hermann in 1931.
Florence was a resident of Waco, Texas, for more than 60 years before moving to El Paso three years before her death. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Waco. There she was president of the Women’s Auxiliary and the leader of the Bible and Prayer Group. She worked with the American Red Cross during World War II. She also served on the boards of the YWCA and the Hamilton House. She was a member of Chapter BF, P.E.O. Sisterhood, the Pan-American Round Table, the Bucklebury Book Club, and the Thimble Club. She and Hermann travelled to Shrine conventions across the United States and also went to Canada and Europe.
