They lived in several places where she always worked as a beautician. They shared 42 loving years together until his death in 1982. They raised two very loved children, Paula and Steve. Flo lived many years in the house they built on Moss Creek Road. She loved her family and enjoyed taking care of everyone she knew. She continued her passion for helping her customers feel beautiful until she was 85. At 90 she moved to Manor Park in Midland and resided there for seven years.
