They married, five years later, in 1950, and soon after Dan was drafted into the Army. She drove to Kansas to see Dan and later took a trans-Atlantic ship to Europe to get to Germany where Dan was stationed. Flo and Dan adventured together in Germany until Dan’s discharge. They enjoyed being together and creating memories, traveling all over the country, ultimately visiting 49 States. A good time was never far away, especially those weekends with family and friends to the Casino. They built a strong life together, demonstrated by traditions and ways of bringing family together for important and special life events and celebrations. Flo was an independent young woman, a proud graduate of Walsh College. She obtained her Accounting degree and had a rewarding career working several years in Downtown Detroit for various accounting firms. As a devoted Catholic, she found joy in her Church community, serving on the Alter Society for many years. Flo was a proud mother of three children, Carol, Dan, and Gayle. Some of the fondest memories her children have include time spent at Houghton Lake, endless support and cheers at sporting events, and Florida shelling and sunsets. Most of all, she loved gathering together with her family to celebrate holidays and birthdays. Flo especially enjoyed being with her eight grandchildren; baking, cooking, sewing, crafting, and bonding together over different hobbies they each enjoyed. She was a gifted storyteller, always eager to share stories of the past. Flo will forever remain in our hearts and be remembered as a true Angel here on Earth.
