She worked for the Rueping Leather Co. upon graduation during the war years. She was a member of Immanuel-Trinity Lutheran Church. In Florence's life she enjoyed and always maintained a garden with her very green thumb. The garden bounty was then canned or went into the freezer. Flowers were a favorite and there were always beds and pots of geraniums outside every summer her entire life. She was a bowler for much of her adult life, a game she always enjoyed until her later years, when she took up golfing. The balls were lighter. She was hooked on golf once she played. Florence also spent many hours at the sewing machine sewing new clothing and doing alterations. She was married to E. Ray Schuppe, who preceded her in death in 1991.She has also been predeceased by her brother, Don Wendel and children Carol Sohn (Schuppe) and Mary Ann Canfield (Rausch).
