Florence A. Scheib, 82 of Louisburg, Ks., formerly of Drexel, Mo., passed away September 6, 2011 at Louisburg Healthcare and Rehabilitation.
Florence was born May 4, 1929 in Freeman, Mo., daughter of Floyd Wesley and Nellie (Morrison) Hunter. She was a homemaker her entire life, and for a time assisted at her daughter’s fabric and craft business in Drexel, Mo. Sewing was a true talent for Florence, which she enjoyed doing for many people throughout her life. She was at various times a caregiver for people in need, and she also enjoyed babysitting her grandchildren. Florence was an avid reader, and her family will always remember that she could answer nearly every Jeopardy question because of all she had read.
Florence was a lifelong member of the South Fork Baptist Church near Drexel.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; and two brothers. She is survived by her children: Roberta Kelly of Kansas City North; Mary Jane Scheib and husband Grant Burns of Stilwell, Ks.; Esther Scheib of North Kansas City; and Rose McMahan of Drexel. Additional survivors include six grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren; and one brother, Kenneth Hunter and wife Sharon of Adrian, Mo.

Florence was a good friend and sister-in-law to my mother. I wish we could have spent more time together, but circumstances made it not possible. My prayers go out to the family.
Dear Roberta, Mary Jane, Esther & Rose – Since I don’t live in Drexel anymore, I just learned of your mother’s death today when I received the Sept 15 Drexel Star. Florence was always very sweet and kind to me. I’m sorry for your loss. Barbara Webb
