Florence Haas, age 95 of Sheboygan passed away Tuesday morning March 14, 2023. Florence was born January 6, 1928, in Sheboygan Falls to the late Harry and Tillie (Schomberg) Boll.
Florence grew up in rural Sheboygan County presently occupied by the Municipal Airport. Growing up on a farm with a large family taught her the value of community and importance of caring for one another. This became her trademark as she inspired the generations of her family.
Florence was employed by the H.C. Prange Co., Thimmigs, Country Kitchen and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Florence loved being around people and was very active in the community.
Florence was an active member of St. John’s United Church of Christ for 36 years and participated in Mother’s Club, Couples Club and the church choir. When Florence moved she attended the Evangelical Free Church and played in the Bell Choir and loved the Forever Young Group.
She was very musical and had a wonderful baritone voice, participating in various choirs. Florence passed the family musical talent to her children and grandchildren. She had a piano in her home and an organ later in life and lit up the keys with her sheet music and encouraged everyone to sit beside her- German or English. She would encourage music to fulfil anyone’s spirit. She loved the Sheboygan Concert Association held at Urban Junior High School. She resided at Waterview Heights for the past nine years and made several friends – filling the community hall celebrating her 95th birthday. She didn’t miss her card game nights, sheepshead, Bunco, Bingo, and Trix.
Gardening was another passion, from raising vegetables, annuals and perennials and house plants – she had a green thumb. Florence was an active member of the Lakeshore Garden Club for 22 years serving as president, vice president and secretary.
Florence’s greatest joy and love was her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was known as “Grandma Flo”.
Survivors include her children: Howard (Heidi) Haas of Mequon, Allan Haas of Port Washington, Debra (William) Schultz of Mosinee, Karen (Jim) Mani of Sheboygan, grandchildren: Jason, Jenny, Amanda, Aaron, Jimmy, Anna, Karin, Carsten, Renata, Helena, Spencer and Preston, great-grandchildren: Landen, Lilly, Colton, Taylor, Hudson, Brayden, Carter, Cecilia, Eloise, Amelia, and Oliver, and a sister-in-law Virginia Boll of Sheboygan Falls.
Florence was preceded in death by her parents, brothers and sisters Hubert (Selma) Boll, Elmer (Evelyn) Boll, Elvera (Melvin) Voss, Luellen (Willard) Greisch, Raymond Boll, Marvin (Gail) Boll, Harry Jr. (Carole) Boll.
