Always with a zest for life, and restless to go where the action was, Florence enlisted in the Canadian Women�s Army Corp. December 20, 1943 serving overseas during the Second World War in the payroll division, being discharged on May 30, 1946. Florence and Nick spent many happy, but hard-working years in southwestern Saskatchewan farming, making a home and raising their four children, in whose lives she played an active role. During the 1960s, once all their children were in school, she once again got to use her teacher voice at Consul School. After retiring to Maple Creek from farm life, Florence and Nick enjoyed many holidays to Arizona, Alaska, Vancouver, Europe and on her own at the ripe age of 92 enjoyed a trip to Scotland with her college buddies � young and old. Throughout her long life, Florence was active serving in executive positions with the United Church � elder, pianist, secretary-treasurer, Maple Creek Agricultural Society, Maple Creek Horticultural Society, Saskatchewan Retired Teachers Association, Southwest Community Club and the Legion. Having an eye for flare and fashion, at the age of 80 years, she became a model for D�Allards. Florence was a perfect homemaker � she loved to sew, cook, can, knit, garden and crafts such as paper tole. She was a wise lady who freely offered her advice. At the age of 90 years, the oldest student at Medicine Hat College, she decided to take a computer course, thus continuing with her life-long commitment to "learning and education". Until a couple years ago, Florence pretty much remained independent. Failing health forced her to give up her independence and move into Masterpiece Retirement residence.
