Our gentle, kind-hearted,
petite and stylish Flora Mae Maughan Steed, age 89, left this world behind on November
16, 2015, in St. George. She was born in Richfield to Angus Marion and Susie
Maughan. Flora attended school in
Richfield, UT through her junior year but graduated from Millard High School in
Fillmore.
She earned a
degree in Education and Home Economics from the University of Utah, then at age
21, she married her devoted eternal companion Robert Hansen Steed in the Salt
Lake Temple.
She had the
opportunity to live in several states because of her husband’s profession. Throughout
her lifetime, she and Bob also enjoyed traveling and experiencing several
international cultures.
In addition to
time spent with her family, including three children, 12 grandchildren and 20
“greats,” Sister Flora enjoyed reading, cooking and entertaining.
Although in the
last years of her life, she did not know the members of the Bloomington 7th
Ward nor did her health allow her to participate beyond attendance at Sacrament
meeting, she always smiled as people stopped to greet her and there is no doubt
she “left this earth with her testimony burning brightly.”
Sister Flora Steed will be missed by those of us who knew and loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with Brother Bob and their family at this difficult time.
