In 1942 she graduated from Knoxville High School and helped her dad farm for a year.
On September 12, 1943, Florence and Keith Agan were united in marriage. They farmed for a couple years and then Keith was drafted in June of 1945. Florence followed Keith to the many army camps, for the next two years. The next few years also saw growth in Florence’s family. Cheryl Lyn was born on August 8, 1948 and in June of 1953 Rocky was born.
Florence raised her family, worked at the V.A. Hospital for several years and also on the evenings and weekends she helped Keith build houses.
Florence is survived by her husband of 72 years, Keith Agan; her children, Rocky (Debbie) Agan of Knoxville and Cheryl (Larry) Ward of Plano, Illinois; four grandchildren; and seven great grandchildren. Also surviving are two sisters; Pat Patty and Alberta Mart; and her extended family of nieces and nephews that she always stayed in touch with.
She was preceded in death by her parents Tom and Jessie (Wilson) Finarty; one brother in infancy, Charles; and one sister, Vera Mae Harvey-Smith
