Florence Myszka, of Cedar Falls, age 96, passed away August 18, 2012 at the North English Care Center.

She was born August 17, 1916, in Finchford, Iowa. In 1934, she graduated from the Finchford School and after moving to Chicago, Illinois, she also graduated from Beauty School. After returning to Finchford with her family in 1950, she worked for the Finchford School. She was then employed by the State College of Iowa (later University of Northern Iowa) from 1959 until 1980.

Florence moved to Cedar Falls in 1969. In 1992, she began working as a greeter at the Cedar Falls Walmart, retiring in 2005 at the age of 90. She was a member of the Washington Chapel United Methodist Church in rural Cedar Falls. Florence really loved her back yard and watching the birds and squirrels brought her enjoyment year round. When she wasn't working, she enjoyed Bingo, pool and relaxing in front of the TV with "Kitty Cat" on her lap.

Those left to cherish her memory are her son, Leonard (Linda) Myszka of Cedar Falls; and daughter, Gloria Haasis of Williamsburg, Iowa. She also leaves four dearly loved grandchildren, Troy (Jason) Fienhold-Haasis of Council Bluffs, Iowa; Trina (Joel) Haasis-Arp of Williamsburg, Iowa; Eric (Niki) Myszka of Cedar Falls; Dana (Erik) Peterson of Bloomington, Minnesota; and five great-grandchildren, Trevor Haasis, Adam Arp, Ashley, Emily and Hailey Peterson.

Florence was preceded in death by her parents; sister Bessie Myszka; brothers Lester, Ralph, Russell and Ruby Carlson; son-in-law Lou Haasis; and great grand-daughter Chloe Peterson.
