She attended country school at Bunker Hill #59 and graduated from Wausa High School in 1948. She attended beautician school in Norfolk, Nebraska, and worked for the Reinhold Beauty Shop. On July 9, 1950, Florence married Albur Peters at the Evangelical Covenant Church. She later worked for many years at Peters Hardware, a business she and Albur operated for 59 years, before retiring to pursue her interest in cooking and entertaining full-time. Florence was raised in the Evangelical Covenant Church in Wausa before being baptized at Golgotha Lutheran Church on December 5, 1951, and then through adult confirmation joined the Golgotha congregation where she belonged for more than 71 years. She was for many years the Sunday School Superintendent. She was active in the World Day of Prayer in Wausa and was well known as a good cook and great host. Florence was active in the community in a variety of ways through the Women's Club, Girl Scouts, Bridge Club, and the American Legion Auxiliary (to which she belonged 71 years). She was an avid reader and had a well-used library card from the Wausa Public Library. Her passion was opening her home to family and friends, entertaining, cooking, and baking (the baking of bread is something Murray has continued). She loved her home and lived in that house longer than anyone. Although she was not a gardener, she placed flowers on so many graves throughout the community. So many people enjoyed her friendship and generosity over the years and she struck up a conversation with everyone she met. Most important to Florence was her family. She leaves behind two sons, 3 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Albur; brother, Warren; sister, Beverly Elsberry; her brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, and many other relatives and friends near and dear to her. In lieu of flowers Florence requested that memorials be given in her name to Golgotha Lutheran Church of Wausa or to Mission Central (40755 Co Hwy E16, Mapleton, IA 51034) for the support of missionaries of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.
