She obtained her education at Bieberdorf School.  Florence married Archie Harrison and moved to a farm near Saskatoon.  This union was blessed with four children.  Florence started a boarding house in Saskatoon. Florence loved the farm and worked very hard to provide a healthy life style for her children.  She always planted large gardens and did many hours of preserving of vegetables and fruit.  She also enjoyed sewing and sewed many outfits for her children.  Later she moved to Calgary, AB.  Here is where she began her career as a cook and cooked for various camps in Alberta.

In 2013 due to failing health and needing more care Florence moved to Lanigan and became a resident at Central Parkland Lodge until present.
