Florence was born in Everson, PA to Walter and Stella Polakowski. Florence was raised in Everson and graduated from Scottdale High School in 1948. Her family later moved to Detroit, where she did clerical work for Roadway Transportation. Flo always enjoyed attending sporting events with her father which led to a lifelong love of sports. Flo married Charles Richard (Dick) Soens on May 13, 1950. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary a few months prior to Dick’s death in August 2015. Flo stayed at home during the raising of their four children. She later returned to doing clerical work in the healthcare industry.
