Della was born in Center Township, Greene County, Indiana. She was the 6th child born to William Andrew Martindale and Elizabeth Jane (Royal) Martindale. She received her formal education and grew to adulthood in this area, residing on a farm with her parents, three sisters and five brothers. At age 21 and about 1909 Floradella married Ezra E. Brosman.
Ezra and Floradella Brosman relocated to Champaign, Champaign Co., IL soon after their marriage and remained in that area most of their married life.

In 1929 Ezra E. & Floradella (Martindale) Brosman adopted five-year-old Herold Dale Stringfellow in Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana. Herold Dale Stringfellow was born May 14, 1924, the great-nephew of Floradella, son of her nephew, Chester Stringfellow, and his wife, Christina Jackson Stringfellow. Herold Dale's mother Christina died October 7, 1929 and his father Chester Stringfellow agreed to the adoption. Chester was the son of Floradella's sister Aytchaphala Martindale Stringfellow and Truman Stringfellow.
