After her parents divorced, Florence and her family moved to Idaho. There she made several lifelong friends, who referred to her as “Johnny,” while she attended and graduated from Teton High School. Florence married William (Bill) Henry Holder on January 10, 1944 and together they raised a son, Daniel, and a daughter, Joy. During these years she often went by the nickname “Flossy.” After Bill’s passing in 1988, Florence married Donald J. Woolsey on July 10, 2001 and they shared 11 years together.
Florence was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings. For years she enjoyed compiling the monthly ward newsletter and also like serving as the ward librarian. She served an honorable mission to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in Salt Lake City. Florence love the outdoors and spent time doing yard work, gardening, and camping. She was a member and served in leadership positions of two Good Sam Clubs.

She is preceded in death by both of her husbands, her son Daniel Holder (who recently passed in February), granddaughter ShanaLee Holder. her son-in-law Sherman Terry Abegg, both her parents, brother Joseph R.
