We all miss Flo. She was always gracious and loving to everyone around her and so concerned about other people. Meramec Bluffs was blessed to have her as a long-time resident.
Thank you for your kind words!
I never heard Flo say an unkind word about anyone. She was a true asset to Meramec Bluffs and the residents. She was a good friend to me and I will miss her a great deal and appreciate all she did and contributed to make Meramec Bluffs a great place to live.
Thank you, Flo.

Thank you! Mom loved her time and her friends at Meramec Bluffs.
She was a very special woman and she will be missed abundantly . she was a great neighbor and because of her being friends with my mom I got to be good friends with Brenda. I will be thinking of her family and knowing that she will be rejoicing in heaven
So thankful we were able to grow up together! My mom just loved spending time with your mom! They are now rejoicing in heaven! together! Thank you for your sweet message ❤️. We will see you in Arcadia!
We loved Flo and her whole family. She was a great friend to our mom, Dolly, and our surrogate mom whenever we were at Arcadia. We looked forward to her annual Christmas time call. I spoke with her just a few weeks ago. She always made us feel welcome at her home and her apartment. Praising God for a short illness and her eternal mansion in heaven. Our Dad said before he died that when he died he would be on the best vacation ever, even better than Arcadia, and we all have reservations paid for by Jesus Christ. See you there Flo. Love, Patty & Jeannette
Mom always had a wonderful time with your parents in Arcadia! She cherished her continued friendship with Dolly through the years! She always asked if I had run into you two during my time at Camp! Thank you for your prayers. They are now continuing their vacation in heaven!
I work for complete eye care and had many phone calls with Flo. My boss just gave me this sad news. She was so sweet and one of my patients that would come in. One of my coworkers said “she’s definitely in heaven playing bridge with her husband with 20 20 vision” our condolences to the family. We are sending our love and prayers.
She certainly will be playing Bridge in heaven I am certain of it! Thank you for your help.
Flo and I met at Meramec Bluffs in 2024. We became very good friends, enjoying trips to activities, dinners with friends in the dining room, happy hours. I enjoyed her company and spirit. She gave life a meaning to many here. Flo went to see the Assisted Living friends regularly and shared prayers and conversation with them often. It was an honor to know her and be a part of her life.
She will be remembered for all her contributions at Meramec Bluffs during her stay of 21 years- all while she enjoyed her pursuit to live life to the fullest.
Thank you so much for your kind words and being such a special friend to our mother! She always spoke so fondly of you and appreciated all of your help!
Flo had a rare gift of making everyone feel seen and valued . Flos kindness wasn’t just something she did; it is who she was. I feel so lucky to have called someone so generous of heart my close friend. I love Flo like family. I’ll miss seeing her every Thursday , I’ll miss our dinners and our conversations, I’ll miss her stories ❤️
I’ll carry Flos kindness forward in her honor.
I remember Flo’s smile. I first met Flo at your wedding shower. I was with Norma. They are all playing bridge and having special lunches with all their
friends in the cottage colony. Sending God’s comfort to all your family.
Flo and her mother were my clients and good friends since 1974. She came into my salon and it was instant friendship! She was the most caring person I have ever known ! Hope she enjoys her new life in heaven! I will miss her forever❤️
