The couple lived in Modesto, CA, and Minneapolis before settling in Seattle in 1954 where they raised their four children. In the 1960s, Florence authored a popular monthly column, 'Americans Abroad,' for the Seattle Times.

In Seattle Mrs. Edelstein tended her family while actively participating in community and politics. She was known for her optimism, courage and compassion and her tireless support of her seven grandchildren. She was a passionate follower of Nathan Hale music and Husky sports.
