Florene was born 21 November 1921 in Competition, Laclede County, Missouri.

"Florene lived in the Ozarks and when she was 13 or 14 she left home and worked her way to Kansas City (KC). She cleaned houses, waited tables and for a short time worked in the hat department at the Jones Department Store in KC. I would put her occupation down as homemaker - and she was a good one. Her house was always spic and span and she was a very good cook."
