Flossie worked in the first United States Post Office of Cuney, Texas. She was very proud of her small town heritage in which she wrote and published a book about the history of her hometown. She continued to support the growth of Cuney being instrumental in the planning and development of a community center.  She taught adult education,  veterans and was also a teacher in McKinney ISD and later retired from the Dallas Independent School District after 21 years of service.

She wrote the history of the North Park CME Church during the 100 year celebration of the church.

One of Flossie’s special attributes was a concern for senior citizens, along with being a lover of animals, especially cats! She was always willing to open her home to help someone in need and help them along the way. Flossie was a great solider in the army of the Lord, a wonderful, kind and sweet spirit that will be forever missed.
