The couple had lived and farmed in rural Charles City, and moved to Floyd in 1960 where Floy had lived until her death. She had taught Sunday School at the Central Methodist Church in Charles City for many years and was involved with the Humboldt Geneology Society. Floy's interests and leisure activities included spending time with her family, flowers, gardening, reading and crochete work of beautiful afghans and braided rugs.
