Florence Elizabeth Kjelsberg (Doyle) - f. 30.10.1920
Siden Ole og Petra var fra Canada og hun var født i U.S.A., ble Florence etter loven statsborger av begge landene. Dette varte imidlertid bare til hun fylte 21 år. Da måtte hun bestemme hvilket land hun ønsket å tilhøre. Ved avsluttet High School hjalp presten henne til å oppnå et strålende stipend ved Concordia College i Morehead, Minnesota. Hovedfaget var matematikk. Da Florence avsluttet college, måtte hun på nytt bestemme seg. Siden Florence var kvalifisert til å undervise i USA, valgte hun å bli amerikaner.
Hun giftet seg med en lærer som underviste i historie og i musikk, mens hun underviste i matematikk. Siden de var barnløse med lange sommerferier, reiste de svært mye, noe som de begge hadde stor glede av. Etter 27 års ekteskap, ble Florence enke.
På den tiden var hun blitt pensjonist, og for å ha noe å gjøre meldte hun seg til frivillige oppgaver. Blant annet jobbet hun som guide og lærer i guvernørens residens i 20 år og videre som valgmedarbeider i City of St. Paul. Hun ble også svært involvert i Minnesota Historical Society. Senere ble Florence valgt til president i kvinneorganisasjonen av Historical Society for to år, og fikk en viktig funksjon da den nye bygningen ble åpnet.
Alderdommen har innhentet henne og hun bor nå i et pleiehjem. |
