Her father, an avid sportsman, encouraged her to appreciate the great outdoors and Florence became an accomplished equestrian.〔 Her grandfather was Thaddeus S. C. Lowe, who had pioneered American aviation with the establishment of the nation's first military air unit, the Army of the Potomac's balloon corps during the American Civil War. He took his granddaughter to an air show when she was only 10 years old.〔Gibson 2013, p. 137.〕
