Shirley Marie (Bennett) Flohr, 83 of Augusta, passed away July 18, 2024, at Pendleton Manor in Franklin.
She was born on July 13, 1941, in Onego, a daughter of the late Estel Bennett and Iva (Dolly) Bennett.
Mrs. Flohr dedicated many years to her work as a domestic house cleaner. She took pride in her work, ensuring that every home she entered was left with a touch of her care and attention to detail. Family was the cornerstone of her life, especially her grandchildren, whether it was while camping in the great outdoors, strolling along the beach, or tending to her flowers.
She attended the Mt View Assembly of God Church in Augusta.
She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.
Her second husband, Robert Monroe Flohr, Sr., survives.
Also surviving are a daughter, Joyce Bland (Brady) of Franklin; four sons, James Adamson and Dean Adamson, both of New Windsor, Maryland, Randy Adamson (Linda) of Maysville and Robert Flohr, Jr. of Augusta; six grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was also preceded in death by her first husband, Joyce M. Adamson in 1992; a grandson, John Merlin Adamson; seven sisters, Eva Patterson, Ruby Burke, Merle Sites, Josie Payne, Vallie Kisamore, and infants Violet and Ethel Bennett; and seven brothers, Carl, Don, Chester, Clifford, Paul, Foster, and infant Roy Bennett.
A funeral service was held Saturday at the Schaeffer Funeral Home in Petersburg with Pastor Greg Adamson and Pastor Jim Kinnamon officiating. Interment was in the Bennett Family Cemetery at Onego.
