Florence Elizabeth Figert, known to many as “Flo,” passed away quietly on Friday, August 20, 2021 in North Manchester at Peabody Retirement Community. She was a longtime resident of Warsaw.
The daughter of Randolph Theodore and Daisy Esther (Tiffany) Moeller, Flo was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania on December 25, 1933. She spent her formative years in Johnstown and graduated from Johnstown High School with the class of 1954.
Intelligent and very astute, Flo spent more than thirty-six years with the Brethren Investment Foundation as a bookkeeper though her role there encompassed many jobs. She was a longtime member of Lakeland Grace Brethren Church and was very active in church life. She enjoyed camping and traveling and was a talented seamstress. She made clothes for her family and friends and even sewed her daughter’s wedding dress – which was featured in local newspapers. She also enjoyed helping her husband with woodworking projects, often finalizing the projects with her painting skills.
