Florence was born November 20, 1918, in Hennepin County, MN, to John Dehn and Blanche Bourgeois Dehn. She attended elementary school in St. Cloud, MN, graduated from Anoka High School in Anoka, MN, in 1936, and graduated from Minneapolis Business College in 1938. On June 5, 1943, she married Gilbert W. Korell in San Diego, CA, moving back to Idaho Falls, ID, a few years later. They divorced in 1953. From this union five children were born.

Florence also ministered to the children of the parish during the 11 a.m. Mass on Sunday mornings.
