te textbook selection board and was a private math tutor. Her children remember her as Sunday School teacher, Cub Scout den mother, Girl Scout leader, algebra instructor ("Always start with 'Let x equal...'"), and most importantly, high-expectation setter. For Florence, charity - and education - did indeed begin at home. As empty-nesters, Florence and Dick visited the old country (where Florence's first-language skills came in handy) and hit the road in an RV. They spent many happy summers in Pinewood, Arizona, enjoying their tennis and bridge groups, outings with the hiking club, and visits from their favorite granddaughter for a spirited game of Uno. Florence played tennis until age 88, and was a crack bridge player until trumped by a stroke at 92. But she remained a lifelong learner and optimist, asking for a FitBit for her 94th birthday, which she wore with pride. Florence is survived by children Stephen (Melissa) Baum, Nancy (Stephen) Knight, and Robert (Marie) Baum, granddaughter Amy (Matt) Stieg, and great-grandsons Solomon and Alexander Stieg. She also leaves behind a dear sister-in-law Priscilla Ellison, many loved nieces and nephews, and a loyal and cherished circle of friends. She was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Richard, and sisters Mary and Margaret. Donations in Florence's memory may be made to The Salvation Army.
