Flora Makhlouf passed away peacefully on February 6, 2025. She was a warm and loving wife and mother, as well as a proud grandmother. She was a talented seamstress for many years, but one of her greatest joys in life was cooking traditional dishes for her family. Her hummus and dolma dishes, just to name a few, will be missed far and wide.
Flora was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 54 years, Odeh, and sisters Nora, Nellie, and Clara. She is survived by her son, Sam (Nicole), cherished grandchildren Sienna and Samantha, brothers Robert (Jihan) and George, and her many nieces and nephews.
Flora will be dearly missed. May her memory be eternal.
