es, poems and illustrations. She also composed an original song and had it published. What wonderful keepsakes! Florence also loved to read, garden, and reminisce about days gone by. She enjoyed teaching Sunday School and making mission quilts (she was the shortest quilter but had the longest reach). Through Bible Study she came to know her bible very well. She enjoyed visiting with friends - especially Elaine, Alma and Lois. Florence is survived by two nieces Helen Overbobe and Ardis Nelson and a number of extended family members. She was also very close to the Gene Johnson family who called her "Granny Florence" or "Florency". She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Elmer and half- sisters Amanda Slinde and Helma Jorpeland. The funeral service will be held on Monday, April 15th at 11:00 a.m. at Whalan Lutheran Church with Pastor Patricia Hinke officiating. Visitation is from 10:00 to 11:00 am. Monday at the church; burial will be at Whalan Lutheran Cemetery. A special thank you to the Good Shepherd Staff for the loving care she received. Florence would tell everyone she saw how good they were to her and how much she enjoyed visiting with everyone and participating in all of the activities they provided.
