Florence was born on May 2, 1937 in Jackson County, IN near Brownstown. She was the

and then IU Extension at Indianapolis. She was a life-long fan of IU basketball.

Florence retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Indianapolis after more than forty-

three years of service. She was a loyal and dedicated employee of the FBI, and at the time of

her death continued her membership in the Society of FBI Alumni. She received many letters

and awards from the Directors of the FBI during her tenure.

Florence was a member of the Pleasant Grove Methodist Church until its closing in 1990. She

was pianist of that church for forty years.

Following the death of her father in 1963, she was the caregiver of her mother who passed

away in 1988.

Florence enjoyed several trips abroad especially to Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Florence was predeceased by her brothers Gerald W. McNiece, Richard James McNiece (as a

very young child) and Donald W. McNiece and sisters Esther McNiece Rorig and Ruth McNiece
