Florence was born on Sept. 12, 1911 in Superior, WI, and went to be with the Lord on Feb. 13, 2007 at the age of 95. She was preceded in death by her husbands Harry Alton and Harold Wayne Self.

Florence Self was my grandmother and although we were not close, I will miss her.
The memories I have of her I will hold close to my heart.... the knitted bun holders and sweaters she made for me, the excitement of visiting her as a young child (she always had the best filled toy drawer for the grandchildren to play with), and the card games we played.

She will be missed.

Love,

Amanda
