Carson at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Norfolk, NE.  The moved to California shortly thereafter and returned to Northeast Nebraska in 1949 moving to Pilger in the early 1950’s.  Florence was active with St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Pilger for many years.  When the church was remodeled, she did a lot of staining in the new woodwork.  Keith and Florence were always helping out at the church.  She was mostly busy being a housewife and trying to raise four boys.  She worked at the Rohrs plant in Norfolk and then began working as a clerk in the Pilger Post Office.  She retired froth the post office in 1992.

Florence always wanted to make sure you had something to eat before you left her house and after moving to the Nursing Home in 2018, always felt bad she couldn’t offer you something to eat.  She always walked you out of the house when you were leaving, even in cold weather, and did the same at the nursing home, always wondering where you parked.  She will be greatly missed at all of the family gatherings, which were very important to her.
