Flora, daughter of Christie MacRury and Red John MacDonald went to Winnipeg to create a career for herself, and did so working for the telephone company. From the little I can gather, she was quite settled and happy; her mother joined her there. Norman talked her into coming back to the farm in the Wapella area to marry him when she was 48. She finished raising the children that Norman had had with his first wife, Annie Graham, while looking after Norman's brother Dan (blind) and her own mother, Christie (who lived to 100). She also cared for Norman's sister, Mary Alex, in her later years.
Flora and Norman had no children together, and it is said she was never flustered despite the family size, invalid pressures, and the demands on a farm wife.
