Earlier this year, Florence served as the grand marshal of the Indianapolis 500 parade. It was a fitting end to what would end up being her last trip to the race.
In an interview before that last race with Indianapolis' ABC affiliate WRTV, Florence said, "I've been coming here for so long, I feel like a part of this race. This year, my goodness, it's exceeded all expectations."

Florence began singing "God Bless America" at the race in the mid-1990s. Until the end, she got a rush just before going on to sing for that massive crowd.
She said, "Yes, I always get excited. Butterflies."
She will be missed.
