Beloved wife of the late Robert Clay “Bob” Neff for over 40 years. Loving mother of Robert Clay, Jr. (Margaret), Spencer Lee, Jonathan Stuart (Merri), and the late John Richmond Neff.

Grandmother of Robert Clay III, Laura Sayre, Samuel Richmond, Lillian Vera and Benjamin Wickersham Neff.
After Flora graduated from Converse College in 1959, she met and married the love of her life, Bob, in 1961. Flora was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and loyal friend to many. She was a devout Christian and a pillar of the Faith Presbyterian Church. Flora and her twin sister, Margie, had an incredibly special bond and were inseparable. In her younger years, Flora enjoyed playing tennis, running and staying physically fit. She was a proud member of the Philanthropic Education Organization (PEO) serving as Treasurer.
Flora was genteel, but at the same time unwavering in her beliefs and principles.

Flora will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
