Florence "Flo" G. Markgraf, age 101 passed away on November 16, 2020 in Waunakee Wisconsin. She was born in Lodi, Wisconsin on February 7, 1919, the eldest child of Frank and Della (Schueller) Dittberner.

She attended Lodi schools, graduating in 1937. She felt her excellent primary education led her to a great love of reading and libraries. During the depression years, reading was the entertainment – no TV!

She married Kenneth Markgraf in Lodi on August 30, 1938. He passed away in 1994 at age 80. They enjoyed 57 years of marriage. Throughout their early years, they resided in Madison, Denzer, and Baraboo settling in the Prairie du Sac area on Lake Wisconsin.

She was especially appreciative of being able to have spent many years in the Prairie du Sac area with many years as a stay at home mom, working at Penny's in Baraboo as well as Hall Drug store and Marie's dress shop in Sauk City. She thoroughly enjoyed her family, reading from poetry to cookbooks, gardening and nature. An advocate of the "Golden Rule" guided her to many cherished friendships.

She is survived by her youngest son, Terrence and grandson Drew (Amy) Jackson, Baraboo; many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews and many devoted friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents (Frank and Della Dittberner), husband Kenneth, daughter Susan Jackson, son Randy Markgraf, grandson Todd Jackson and siblings Dorothy Madigan, Elvin and Gordon Dittberner and many brothers and sister in-laws.

A special thank you to Katie and the staff at Sienna Crest Assisted Living in Waunakee for the great care and companionship provided her the last 5 years and to Agrace Hospice for their great end of care assistance.

Interment will be at Garden Bluff Cemetery in West Point Township, Lodi Wisconsin. A private burial will be held.
