Florence was a homemaker who loved to take care of her family, and she cherished the time she was able to spend with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She also worked for Big Meadows Nursing Home in Savanna which allowed her to care for many other people in the community as well. Florence loved the outdoors and wildlife, especially cardinals, and feeding the deer and wild turkey near her home. She also loved music and dancing and was an exceptional singer who performed with Lawrence Welk in Iowa before he became famous. Florence was a master chef who will be remembered for her potato salad and peanut butter fudge.

Stingley and Beulah Stingley of Savanna, Illinois, and Robert Lee (Cyndi) Austin of Vidor, Texas; sixteen grandchildren; twenty great-grandchildren; two brothers, James Lee Kelley and Lawrence “Larry“ Michael Kelley, both of Savanna; two nieces and one nephew (Stingley); three nieces and one nephew (Kelley).
