Florence H. Boss UINTAH - Our beautiful and loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, returned home to her Heavenly Father on Saturday, August 6, 2005, after a motorcycle accident in South Dakota. Florence was born February 18, 1949 in Layton, Utah to Ted and Jeri Harris. She was born oldest daughter of seven children. She married Lyle J. Boss on Friday, December 13, 1968 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. Lyle and Florence were married for 37 years and were blessed with four strong, beautiful children. To try and describe the life of Florence Boss is surely a task. There were not very many things that Florence did not excel in. Perfect, tidy, witty, energetic, beautiful, and vivacious are just some of the adjectives that describe our mother best. Florence stood out in everything she did. People that had the opportunity to know her, knew there wasn't much Florence couldn't do. Overachievement was her specialty! Anyone who was a friend of Florence was made to feel like they were her b est friend. She had the unique ability to instantly endear herself to any person at their first meeting. She had the ability to touch people's life for the better. She carried this quality in every realm of her life. One of her most favorite activities was inviting people to join her on a lunch date. She loved talking and finding out about what was important to those she surrounded herself with. Florence was an athlete. She enjoyed many sports such as soccer, water skiing and snow skiing. She enjoyed hiking and kickboxing with her friends. She also relished riding her tandem bicycle around the neighborhood. She was convinced that riding it down Skyline Drive was a little glimpse of what flying was like. She even enjoyed playing her new found sport of golf with many of her girlfriends. Another favorite activity of Florence's was cooking. This was a skill she had definitely mastered. She loved to prepare Sunday dinner for her family and others. The more that could fit around the table the better. Not only did she have a genuine love for people but she wanted to share what she loved most with them, the gospel of Jesus Christ. She felt that everybody needed to know about the gift that our Savior and brother Jesus Christ left for us. Florence knew the scriptures. They were her best friend and were constantly in her hands. She was a gifted teacher. She personified perfectly what she taught in her many church callings. She and Lyle were completing their final year of a three year calling as hosts for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the Salt Lake Temple and Joseph Smith Memorial Building. In addition, she was currently serving as Laurel advisor in the Young Women's Organization. Florence's valiant testimony was demonstrated through the years with her constant service in all her church callings. She loved her family above all else. She adored all of her children and was deeply committed to her husband and best friend for 37 years. She was an example in all thing s and all aspects of her life. Florence will definitely leave a hole in all of us. She absolutely left this life too soon but we know she is as busy up there directing, organizing, planning and giving orders as she was down here. We will continue to carry her in our hearts, we will miss her immensely and we all look forward to that wonderful reunion when we can embrace her in our arms again. She is survived by her husband Lyle, her four children, Trisha (Mike) Cook, Tawyna Boss, Tyler Boss, Targhee (Kiley) Boss. Two beautiful grandsons, Taz and Tate Cook, who loved their Grandma Sani. Her mother and father, Ted and Jeri Harris, her brothers and sisters, Ted (Joan) Harris, Emelyn (Joe) Bagley, Ryan (Robin) Harris, Gene Harris, John (Lynette) Harris, Tami (Floyd Egan).
