She was born July 28, 1913 in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of William and Mary Kelly. Florence was a department manager for Statistical Tabulating Corp. when she transferred to Los Angeles in 1953. She resided in Long Beach, California. She met and married Bert Berryhill in 1965. She joined the BPO Does in 1982, and also joined the Parker Woman’s Civic Club.
