A dedicated and skilled union carpenter, Florence spent many years contributing her talents to the construction of scaffolding for the nuclear power plant, where her expertise was well-respected. Florence was the devoted wife of Floyd Chandler for 37 years. Together, they built a warm and loving home that served as a foundation for their family.

In addition to her immediate family, she is survived by her sister, Sandra Faye Warneke of El Campo, Texas, along with many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends who will miss her dearly. Florence held her family as her proudest accomplishment, and it was evident in every aspect of her life. She cherished moments spent on cruises with her loved ones and found peace in fishing. She also delighted in the simple pleasures of life, such as tending to her flower garden, enjoying her wind chimes, and watching hummingbirds at her feeders. Time spent on her front porch, observing the world pass by, was a favorite pastime. She was preceded in death by her parents, Gladys Love (Phillips) and Frank Felix Kostelnik, her brother, Frank Allen Kostelnik, and her sister, Frances Love Casner.
