RoseMary Ricks Flovin, 93, passed away Saturday, September 28, 2013, in Brenham, Texas. Graveside services will be at 11 a.m., Thursday, October 3, in Tecumseh Cemetery, Pottawatomie County, OK. The service is being conducted by Reverend Elaine Kirkland, RoseMary's niece from New York City.
RoseMary was born in Meeker, Oklahoma, to the late Herbert and Loyce Ricks, the second of two daughters. She grew up in Shawnee, OK. After getting through Business School, she moved to Oklahoma City where she met Jack Flovin. They married on August 17, 1943. RoseMary and Jack moved to Houston, Texas, in 1960 where she became the principal bookkeeper for the engineering firm of Walker & Associates. She worked there until she retired in 1985.
RoseMary and Jack became active members of the Canterbury Methodist Church in Houston and enjoyed the camaraderie with other members. You could always count on the two of them, arm in arm, to be the center of attention. Before and after Jack's death, it was church members who came to help her since she didn't drive. She considered those relationships such a blessing. In 2003, she sold the house and moved to Brenham, TX, to be closer to her daughter, Cathy.
RoseMary enjoyed many crafts. She especially liked crocheting and other needlework. Hundreds of crocheted angels were brought into life, some large, some small, and given away to family and friends (especially at Christmas time). She loved her little dogs, CheChe and Muffin who traveled with her and Jack everywhere.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Jack, in 1998.
Survivors include daughters, Jackie Hawley and her husband, Charles, of San Carlos, CA, and Cathy Norman and her husband, Bill of Brenham, TX; grandson, Trey Norman and his wife, Sheila, of Sioux Falls, SD; sister, Treba Ringler of Ft. Wayne, IN; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Q131
