Florence was confirmed on July 3, 1938, at St. Peters Church in Garnavillo by Rv. Steege. There she helped teach Sunday School and belonged to Luther League. As a young girl Florence worked for various jobs for what skills she could provide for different people. On January 29, 1947, Florence was united in marriage with Stanley Schroeder at St. Peters Church in Garnavillo by Rev.
