Flora began to further her education at Idaho State University as a music major. She had a deep love for the arts, especially music. She resigned her quest for a music degree worried that it was a financial strain on her young family so she pursued a different course by seeing to it that her children were given the opportunity to have music lessons in piano and violin. Flora worked a portion of her young adult years at the Downey State Bank in Downey, ID. After marrying Glenn, she was first and foremost a wife, mother and homemaker. She did work for a short time at Grand Central Store when it first opened in Pocatello; which has now become Fred Meyer.

Flora was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints serving in various callings and positions in Young Womens, Primary, Relief Society and the ward in general; especially those dealing with music. She loved the outdoors and nature. She loved flower gardening and took great pride in beautifying her yard. She was an exceptional seamstress and was always creating something for herself and her children. Flora and Glenn were loving, supportive and ever present at any of their childrens activities.
