Over her life she was a seamstress making many alterations and a babysitter for many children in the area. Flora was a member of First Baptist Church in Tiffin for over 40 years.

Flora was an amazing person and incredibly loved. Flora's faithfulness was her testament to God. Her faith in him never, ever wavered and she loved to work the earth and plant. She taught her children to look for everyday miracles, to find faith in the smallest of seeds and that with God, friends, love and determination, you could come through anything. Flora was the strongest, most capable, non stoppable, unflappable woman of faith. She was kind and fair, she was funny and thoughtful.

Flora was preceded in death by her parents, husband and nine siblings.
