She is now enjoying a long awaited reunion with her eternal companion. Florence married Cecil Warren Henke on June 18, 1941 in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they raised a family of ten children, teaching by example, love for Jesus Christ, hard honest work, and a joy for life. She was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, having served in many positions.
Florence loved children, especially babies and welcomed each of 63 grandchildren with a handmade afghan and continued to crochet afghans for 161 great-grandchildren and 2 great- great grandchildren until the last year as her health failed. She was preceded in death by her husband Cecil and son Douglas (Kathleen) Henke.
She is survived by her children, Marvin (Jan) Henke, Lynn (Edna) Henke, Norman (Susan) Henke, Paul (Jane) Henke, Claudia (Wesley) Witt, Cheryl (Keith) Lawton, Owen (Jennifer) Henke, Kevin (Maryanna) Henke, Lorna (Troy) Henry; her brother Bernard Cook and Sister Reba (Lenford) Kitchen. Special thanks to Millard Care and Rehab for the wonderful care Florence has received the last three years.
