Florease Elizabeth Wells was born in Amarillo, Texas, to Bill and Lucy (Williams) Impola on February 25, 1928. She began her school years in Amarillo, and when she was 12, her family moved to Claunch, New Mexico. She met her future husband, Mackie Wells, at a little country church in Gran Quivira, New Mexico. They became friends almost instantly and years later, were married on December 27, 1944. She said it was wonderful to spend her life with her childhood sweetheart. They were blessed with four children, Lorrie, Bonnie, Arvis and Kevin.
Florease accepted Jesus as her Savior as a young adult and had a strong faith all the rest of her life. She was very active in the Church of the Nazarene, where she served as Sunday School teacher and various other capacities, wherever they lived. Florease is the classic example of the "Faithful and Wise Servant" of which the scriptures speak of.
Florease sang like a bird and loved singing with her family. There are fond memories of taking road trips and everyone singing hymns and other favorite songs as they traveled along. She enjoyed playing games with her family and friends, and she and Mackie loved to work cryptogram puzzles together.

Florease was preceded in death by her loving husband, Mackie, in 1995, her parents Bill and Lucy Impola, son-in-law Warren Huber, and infant granddaughter Shera Lee.

She is survived by her children Lorrie Willis and husband Tom of Lubbock, TX, Bonnie Huber of Higgins, TX, Arvis Wells and wife Rachel of Missoula, MT, and Kevin Wells and wife Joy of Kirtland, NM; grandchildren, David, Darren, Dean, Sharla, Dan, Brad, Jennifer, Diane, Matt, Erik, and Serena; 31 great-grandchildren; 6 great-great-grandchildren; step-sisters, Martha Russell of Levelland, TX and Mary Hightower of Lubbock, TX; niece Sharon Wells Prementine of Pennsylvania; other relatives and a host of friends.
