Affectionately known as Flo or Gram, she was somewhat of a homebody who absolutely loved visitors. All were always welcome anytime of day or night. There were always cookies on the table and a beverage of your choice waiting for you.
Flo loved all of God's creatures; caring for animals and tending to flowers throughout her entire life. She enjoyed TV shows, bawdy jokes, word search puzzles and would read for hours every night before bed. Although she was a fantastic cook, a cold beer and half of a sandwich was her favorite meal. But most of all, she loved spending time with her family; especially during holiday dinners which were usually followed by spirited games of bingo afterwards. Flo's spirit was like none other. She cared deeply for people, always had kind words for anyone she met and accepted everyone as they were. Her spirit lives on in all of us who knew her. Flo will be missed and may she rest in peace enjoying a jelly donut in the sky.
