Flora N. Plunk

Flora N. Plunk 86, also known as "Mams" by her grandchildren passed away suddenly at Union Hospital following an auto accident Sunday, April 4, 2010 shortly after she and her family were visiting the resting places of her husband, Roger and son, Jerry in the Dover Burial Park.

Born May 27, 1923 in Oakdale, Louisiana, she was the daughter of the late Otred Joseph and Essie Mae (Phillips) Hodgkinson.

Flora was a longtime volunteer in the mailroom at Aultman Hospital. She was a member of the Fohl Memorial United Methodist Church in Navarre.
