Florence was born on December 19, 1930, in Sioux Falls to Otto John and Tina (Johnson) Nielson, and grew up on the family farm near Crooks, SD. She attended elementary school at a one-room schoolhouse near Crooks and went to high school in Lyons.

She and her husband designed and built three of their family homes, as well as a cabin at Lake Poinsett, where the family enjoyed many summers. A great believer in education throughout one's life, she attained a master's degree in Russian History from Minnesota State University, Mankato.
