Florine had a 40+ year career in civil service, retiring in 2019 as a Security Officer at Ft. Huachuca.  She enhanced numerous lives and cherished being a member of Thunder Mountain Community Church, where she taught children’s Sunday School classes for as long as she was able.

Florine leaves behind a deep legacy of love and faith and will be greatly missed.
