Born January 10, 1920, in Carbonear, Newfoundland, the 6th of 12 children. Flora passed away peacefully at the Agnes Pratt Home in St John’s on April 16, 2011, Flora Lamswood, age 91 years. Predeceased by her loving husband, Gordon, and sons; Reg, George and Kenneth. Left with memories of her generous heart and infectious spirit are her sons: Wayne (Lorraine), and Calvin (Joan); daughter-in-law, Ada; and grandchildren: Paul, Tina, Todd, Georgia, Robyn, Sarah and Anna, including their spouses; seven great-grandchildren; and sisters: Frances and Margaret. Flora’s hands were seldom still; instead they were busy with crocheting and cleaning, baking and gardening. Rearing her family with Gordon on Bell Island they then moved to St. John’s in 1970. Family and friends were always a priority for Flora. Her life was a lesson in joyfulness, generosity and perseverance.

While it may be hard for some to imagine a world without Flora, a quote left in her note to us sums up the wishes of this remarkable woman: “When you are lonely and sick at heart, go to friends we know and bury your sorrow in doing good deeds.” To send a message of condolence or to sign the memorial guest book, please visit www.carnells.com.
