Florence Kruse-Stanley

Services for longtime local resident Florence Kruse-Stanley will be held at 2 p.m. Friday, April 25 at the First United Methodist Church of Bishop.
Born in New Castle, Colo. on Nov. 7, 1920 to Thomas and Ivy Dwire, Florence died April 20, 2008 in Bishop. She was 87.
In 1938, Florence married Bert. W. Kruse, who died in 1992. They started their family in Colorado and moved to Inyo County in 1953. From 1969 to 1986 they lived in Sagle, Ida. where they had many friends. In 1986, they returned to Bishop.
Florence was lucky enough to meet Rowland Roosa Stanley who she married in 1996 and with whom she enjoyed seven fun and wonderful years of traveling including two cruises (the Inland Passage to Alaska and the Panama Canal). They were involved in church activities and many organizations, including Eastern Star, and they had various other interests. Rowland died in 2003.
Florence was perhaps best known for her participation in the United Methodist Women and Eastern Star. She loved to bake and share bread and cookies with family, friends and neighbors. She took pride in keeping a beautiful home and garden. She entered many items in the fair wherever she lived and received many blue ribbons and awards. Known as “the pretty lady” to many, Florence will be missed by her family and friends.
Florence was preceded in death by her parents, three brothers, two sisters, her husband and her son, Albert Lee Kruse.
She is survived by her brother, Elton Dwire of Oregon; sister, Lydia Gipson of Colorado; daughter, Ginger Sagran of Wellington, Nev.; granddaughter, Georgan Stottlemyre of Bishop; grandsons, Mark Kruse, Bob Wilson and Scott Kruse, all of Bishop; stepdaughter, Dorrie Howard of Ridgecrest; stepdaughter and stepson-in-law, Mindy and Dan Paranick of Crowley Lake; stepdaughter, Bobbi Dore of Bishop; and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Donations in Florence’s memory may be made to a charity of one’s choice. Some of her favorites were the United Methodist Women, Hospice of the Owens Valley and Wild Iris.
