At an early age, Flora confessed Christ as her Lord and Savior. She became a faithful member of Calvary MB Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Ronald C. Bridewell, later serving under Rev. Dr. Wilbert H. Goatley, Jr..

Flora was a dedicated servant leader with a heart for ministry. She served faithfully as Usher Captain No. 2 at Calvary Church and President of the Usher Board and Health Unit for the Antioch District, generously giving her time and energy in service to others. In addition to these roles, she was an active member of the choir and a passionate fundraiser. Her commitment to the church was evident in every aspect of her life.
