Florine was born on October 4, 1925, in Iowa City, Iowa, the daughter of Clifford and Velma (Hartsock) Smith. She graduated from University High School in Iowa City. Florine made her home in West Branch for over 38 years before moving to Iowa City. She was employed for 16 years with Sears.

Perhaps one of her greatest joys and “jobs’, was that of being a Mother. She enjoyed attending her children’s activities over the years and that continued on with her grandchildren as well. Time spent with all of them was cherished the most.

Florine is survived by her three children, Dean (Cyndi McFarlin) Roegler of Glenwood, Iowa, Donna (Roger) Gwinnup of Oxford, Iowa and Linda (Bill) Kepke of Wilton, Iowa; seven grandchildren, Christopher (Chanelle) Roegler of Glenwood, Iowa, Dusty (Carla) Roegler of Malvern, Iowa, Tracy (Paul) Grote of Elgin, Illinois, Aaron (Karen) Gwinnup of Oxford, Iowa, Sarah (Scott) Godsil of North Liberty, Iowa, Timothy (Debra) Simpson of Parker, Colorado, Darren (Aimee) Simpson of Highland Ranch, Colorado; two sisters, Velma (Bob) Fisher and Marjana Lamp all of Iowa City, Iowa.

She was preceded in death by her parents; one son, Charles Roegler; one brother, Clifford Smith Jr.; five sisters, Lilymae Parrish, Mary Elizabeth Farnsworth, Luella Jean Holmes, Betty Brenneman and Maxine Meyers
