Florence Grace Bornhoft, daughter of John and Jessie (Anton) Bornhoft, was born November 25, 1917, at Westside, Iowa. She grew up in Westside and attended Westside schools where she played on a championship basketball team.

She was united in marriage with Herbert Frank Molter on April 5, 1938, at Carroll, Iowa by Pastor A.O. Blecke. Florence was a homemaker and traveled with her husband who had Moeller's Accordion Band. They often played at the Five Mile House near Westside and numerous other places in the Midwest. They made their home in Waterloo, Iowa, for a number of years before moving to Sioux Falls in 1952. Mr. Molter preceded her in death on September 29, 1975. She later moved to Arizona to be near her children.

After having surgery, Florence failed rapidly and died on Saturday, January 13, 1996, at Chandler, Arizona.

Grateful for having shared her life are two sons, Charles Molter, Scottsdale, Arizona, Richard Molter, Tempe, Arizona; two daughters, Caroline Iverson and her husband, Robert, Flandreau, South Dakota, Judith Wenham, Tempe, Arizona; six grandchildren, Matt Iverson and his wife, Marcella, Roberta, Lynn, and Jean Iverson, Annette DeBoer and her husband, Tim, Jessie Molter; one great grandson, Austin Iverson; two sisters, Blanche Bybee, Audubon, Iowa, Leona "Jackie" Ruch, Vail, Iowa; nieces and nephews; and a host of other relatives and friends.
