Flora Elizabeth Ward

It is with much love and fond memories that the family of Flora Ward announce her passing on April 12, 2023. Flora is predeceased by husband Jim Ward, parents Raymond and Lena Highbaugh and son Timothy Poulin.

Flora will be forever remembered, loved and missed by her Children Deb (Chris) Mardel, Kathy (Wade) Macleod, Lorie Stauffer; siblings Armond (Alice) Highbaugh, Marjie (Albert) Ernst; grandchildren Dale, Clayton (Talisa), Colin (Eloise), Corey (Isabel) and Jamie and great grandchildren Austin and Brooke.

Flora, known to many as Flo, was born in Barrhead, Alberta with her brother Armond and sister Marjie. Flo later moved to Edmonton, where she spent the most of her life, had 4 children and met her husband, Jim. Flo loved spending her winters with Jim traveling south to warmer locations such as Las Vegas, Nevada and Yuma, Arizona. During the summer Flora loved nothing more than spending time with her grandchildren boating, fishing, and sitting around the campfire at their Alberta Beach cabin. Flo loved to dance, listen to music, read, garden, spend time with her grandchildren, see friends at the Drake and volunteer her time at the church.

As Flo got older and could no no-longer make regular trips over the winter to warmth down south, she moved to the warmer winter climate of Courtenay, BC where she continued her love of gardening, camping, and summer activities with her family. While living in Courtenay, Flo continued to take the occasional trip to Las Vegas and Kentucky, where she was able to see her extended families.

Flora lived a very full and long life and most important of all, Flora was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Flo truly loved life and all of the special people she had in hers.

The funeral will begin at Park Memorial Funeral Home, followed by a graveside service at St Michaels Cemetery.
