Flo grew up working in the fields. She loved playing basketball, horseback riding, and dancing with her friends on the weekends. As an adult, she was an avid gardener, a wonderful seamstress, an amazing cook, and baker. No job or hobby was too much of a challenge. She worked as a florist and in the nursery for her daughter. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, and wife. She made enough pineapple cakes for friends and family to make a stairway to heaven. We love you forever, mama.
