Flossy graduated from Camden High School in 1948, known to her peers and friends as "a swell gal", "slick chick" and "Foxy Flossy".   Throughout her career, Flossy worked as a bookkeeper for various businesses in South Jersey, including the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City.

Flossy will always be remembered as a kind and loving person and a good listener. She had a funny sense of humor and wit that provided much laughter at family dinners and gatherings.

Flossy's best smiles were always worn when she was surrounded by family.
