She volunteered at the St. Pius Thrift Store and was also a member of the St. Pius X Marian Choir. Music was always near and dear to her heart, so when shemoved to Greenbriar in Brick Township, she joined their Glee Cub and continued to bring joy to others through music. Flora liked to remain active well into her 80's as a member of a local bowling league.

She was a member of Church of Saint Pius X and their Rosary Altar Society and Saint Dominic Roman Catholic Church, Brick.

In her later years, Flora enjoyed a quiet life of family, friends, reading (she always recommended books by David Baldacci, her favorite author), playing bingo and completing word searches.
