"Flo" as she was fondly called, shared love wherever she went. Providing service with her heart and hands, she assist in achieving the highest possible level of excellence. To know Flo was to love her. Tell it like it is was her motto in life.
Not only did she love from a distance, she loved locally. Spreading what she could afford she truly had a special bond with those she associated with. Born the fifth child to Fred and Gracie Barnard of Richmond Hill, GA she graciously had passion for excellence. The private Flo participated in the things that pleased her expectation of life.
Her early days were spent enjoying life and her family near and far. Rejecting all agents of discouragement in her life she trusted God for her comfort and strength, not man. Education played a great role in her agenda of life so much she started educating herself in Richmond Hill, GA completing assignments in Dayton Beach, FL.
