Death is indeed our enemy and we look forward to the day when God wipes away all tears. There will be no more pain, hurt, death, and tears, because God will wipe them all away.
Rev 21:4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
Rev 21:5 And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He *said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.”
May God comfort and strengthen the family.
Love,
Donald Ellis
Madam Flo Wilson was a member of our church while I pastored the Ottawa Church of God. When our daughter Sigourney was born at the Grace Hospital, sister Flo took special care of my wife Diana and new baby. Over the years she became a treasured member of our family. She would watch over me like a mother and my children like a grandmother. When Diana and I would travel out of country, she would step in and care for the children. She was special to us and we loved her dearly. A few weeks ago we drove up to Ottawa to check on her and joked about driving her back to New York. We never realized that would be our last fellowship.
We want to express sympathy to her family on such a great loss and to assure you of our continued prayers. Your mother ran well and now she is resting from her labors.
Rev. 14:13 “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord frim henceforth; yea saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors”.
We have been deeply saddened by the passing of Sis Flora Wilson. Sis Flo, as she was affectionately called, was very dear to my family. When my Mom was hospitalized, Sis Flo would go and spend time with her, feeding her, assisting her to the bathroom and helping her in and out of bed. Mom loved those times when Sis Flo would read the Bible to her and pray with her. Upon discharge from the hospital, Sis Flo would visit Mom at my sister (Myrna) and tell Myrna to go and do her errands while Sis Flo and Mama would sing and pray.
Other memories of Sis Flo was with the Church Family. Sis Flo was the Head Usher in our Church. She was very passionate about her responsibilities. She was always punctual and made sure that a Greeter was at the door to welcome individuals, especially visitors. Sis Flo has left a legacy for us to emulate. You are greatly missed but you are in a better place with your Lord. Our condolences to Lascelles, Hugh, Claudia. Johanne, grandchildren, brothers, sisters nieces, nephews, other extended family members and your church family at Worship and Restoration Ministries. Have your rest Sis Flo until we meet in heaven.
Flora was a friend in need and one indeed, she was willing worker in the church whenever an idea popped up and I mention it to she always says “Let’s go for it” you will be missed Flora my beloved sister in the Lord.
To the families of Miss Flora…
My deepest sympathy goes out to you at this difficult time.
May happy memories of your family member bring you comfort at this sad time.
Our deepest condolences to Flora’s family and close friends. I remember Flora as a very pleasant lady from our old neighborhood in the west end of Ottawa. May God’s perpetual light shine on her. RIP Flora.
Sis Flo,
My sincere condolences to Sis. Flo’s family for your loss.
To say I will miss her is an understatement. Even though there’s a huge age gap between us we joked around as if we were in the same age group. Sis Flo was warm, welcoming and friendly. As an usher at church she made everyone feel welcomed. Her bright smile will be missed and I will forever hold great memories of her near and dear to my heart.
Matt. 5:4 – Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted.
Flora was a longtime friend to me and my family. We go back so many years and we have shared so many fond memories. Flora, you will always hold a special place in our hearts.
To Flora’s children and family members please accept our deepest condolences and remember this scripture during this difficult time.
“…I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Flora Wilson is an important person in my life.
She took me aside one evening after a Bible study and confided in me. About people and life.
She was a Pillar of our WARM church. A rock.
She also instructed me to hug her every time I saw her.
I did.
She was a Regal Queen.
Hugs, now, for the family.
and Peace for Flora…and all…
I met Flo while working at the Grace Hospital for many years, until it closed. And have kept in contact with her until her passing. I have many happy memories of her. Flo had a very special laugh, and knew how to cheer you up. I will always remember her kindness and thoughtfulness. Flo may you RIP. My deepest sympathy to all of her family.
Love, Maureen (Mau).
Flora and I met in the Bahamas and became fast friends and then roommates, we had the best times. She migrated to Canada and I came to the US and remained friends until the end.
She was my protector and even though we were far apart she continued to guide me. All I had to do was call her and she would tell me how to handle any situation or issue I had.
She always let you know what was on her mind…never holding back. I loved that about her.
I missed my Dear Friend very much! Rest in Peace Flo! God Bless you always till we meet again!
On behalf of Flo’s Seniors, I would like to express our deepest condolences to Flora’s family.
The West family is deeply saddened to hear about the passing of our beloved Aunt Flora. To the Wilson family, please accept our sincere condolences during this difficult time.
Aunt Flora was more than just an aunt; at one point, she was a second mother to my children, and a cherished member of our household in New Jersey. Her presence brought a sense of warmth, love, and stability. She took care of my children with a tenderness and devotion that only someone with a heart as big as hers could provide. Her selflessness and nurturing spirit were evident in everything she did.
Aunt Flora’s wisdom was profound, and her kindness unparalleled. We still remember the countless memories we shared with her and her legacy lives on in our hearts.
Rest in peace, dear Aunt Flora. Your memory will forever be cherished.
With deepest sympathy,
Dr. Paul West & family
Flora’s house was the first house I visited when I first migrated to Canada in the 80’s. She welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like family. That feeling stuck with me for many years even though I didn’t see her again for a long time.
Our paths crossed again at Worship & Restoration Ministries about 2 decades after and I was greeted with that same warm and friendly welcome. I looked forward to visiting the church and seeing Flo. We always had something to laugh and talk about. She had a youthful energy and a kind spirit. Her warm smile will be missed!
I pray that the joy of light will continue to shine on your family during this difficult time so you all will not lose faith.
Deepest condoléances to all Flo’s family and friends. I will miss her dearly, being Johanne’s mother , Momzy and I were very fortunate to enjoy numerous delicious meals together and holidays, I will cherish those moments for ever thank’s to Lascelles and Johanne. RiP Flo! My prayers are with you.
My beloved sis Flo. Rest in eternal peace! I will always remember that sweet voice whenever we met and you always greeted me with (Hi Sweetie). May your entire family find peace and comfort in God.
My Condolences to the family of sister Flo’s. Sis. Flo was the sweetest and kind person I have ever known. She is very kind and humble. When I was youth pastor Ottawa church of God she was a member at the church, always loving and caring for others. Rest in peace, you are in the.arms of your savior.
Bishop Ishmael and family
Thank you Flora for your guidance and support for all these years. I will greatly miss our chats on various topics including politics, tax and of course taking care of family. You treated me like one of your own and although you have left us you are in a better place and not suffering.. Rest easy as I will continue to honour you.
It was sad to hear of Flora ‘s passing. What I’m going to miss most is her infectious smile. I haven’t seen her for years but our annual phone calls were indeed awesome. Floral thanks for the confidence and trust. We shared a lot of fun. To your family, our sincere condolences. Fare the well Flora.
She was such a sweet soul may her soul rest in eternal peace
