Funeral homes often submit obituaries as a service to the families they are assisting. However, we will be happy to accept obituaries from family members pending proper verification of the death.
Born and raised in central Oregon, Florence graduated from Redmond High School in 1951.
As a teenager, she worked as bank teller and was a finalist in the Miss Redmond beauty pageant. She was a catch.
On June 15, 1952, she married J.H. Bones of Brownsville, Oregon.
Florence devoted her life to raising a family and making a home. She enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, golfing, traveling, and baking. She was blessed with an artistic eye which inspired her painting and drawing.
