Florence was born December 17, 1913 in Brockway Township to Joseph and Julia (Schwintek) Kieffer. She married John Peter Maciejewski on May 24, 1932 at Holy Cross Church in North Prairie. She attended Mount Carmel School in Opole and received her diploma at St. Cloud Tech High School. She was a selfless wife and mother who worked hard on the family farm while raising her family. She enjoyed quilting, gardening, crossword puzzles and reading books. She excitedly looked forward to family gatherings. She was a member of St. Columbkille Parish in St. Wendel.
She touched a lot of lives in her 98 years. She was a dear lady with a big heart, a great sense of humor and a mischievous streak which still showed through in that sparkle in her eye and the grin on her face even after Alzheimer’s had robbed her of her memory.
Survivors include her sons and daughter; Elmer (Jenny) Maciejewski of Avon, John A. Maciejewski of Avon, Sister Mary Rebecca, OSC (Poor Clares Monastery) of Sauk Rapids, David Majeski of Avon, Roger (Lisa) Majeski of Freeport, and Richard Majeski of Holdingford; daughter-in-law, Lois Maciejewski of Avon; sister, Edna Sufka of Little Falls; 18 grandchildren, 42 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren.
