Florene Floyd

Florene Floyd, 92 years old of Little Rock, Arkansas, took her first breath in heaven and reunited with her beloved Bernie on February 27, 2021.

Florene was born November 26, 1928 in England, Arkansas to Flossie and Carl Bolton.  Flo was raised in England, graduating from England High School.  She was married to Earnest (Bernie) Floyd for 62 years and spent her adult life in Little Rock. Florene was co-owner of Kool Vent Awning Company and Arkansas Building Products in North Little Rock.

She lived a very active life outside of work, which included traveling, gardening, attending church, running around town with her cousin Dorothy and spending Saturdays shopping with her granddaughter Leslie, followed by lunch at Trios.  No one made Christmas more special than Florene and she loved going to look at Christmas lights with Ron & Judy.  She loved to frequent Homers for a late lunch, coffee and a fried pie.  Flo made friends everywhere she went and would light up any room with her beautiful smile and brilliant blue eyes.

The greatest love and joy in life were her family.  Her devotion to them was unmeasured and her personality is visible in each of them.  Flo will be remembered for her compassion, her unselfish and giving nature, but even more so for her feisty, strong personality and quick wit which was evident until the end.

She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, one brother and her cousin and best friend Dorothy Yates Williams and special friend J.D. Hall.  She is survived by her daughter Sandy Korte, and grandchildren Joey Korte (DeAnna), Leslie Traweek (Robbie), great grandchildren Ryan Shannon (Taryn), Kyle Shannon, Shepard Traweek, Ella Cate Traweek, and 3 great, great grandchildren and special friends Judy & Ron Metheny.

The family would like to extend their gratitude and appreciation to the staff at Memory Care of Little Rock for their care of Flo over the last 16 months, specifically, Matt, Cathy, Vivian, Felicia, Rebecca, Sanarra, Sandra and Tymara.  A private celebration of her life will be held at a later date and in the spirit of Flo’s kind heart and love for all, the family requests that donations be made to the charity of your choice.
