Flora (Davidson) Roeder
1916 - 2009 
Flora Roeder, 93, Brownstown, passed away Thursday, Nov. 5, 2009, at her daughter's residence in Indianapolis.
Flora was a member of Brownstown Christian Church and was a housewife and mother. She and her late husband celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary just prior to his death on March 30, 2008. Her primary accolades and accomplishments were of being a devoted wife and mother. In that, she never faltered. She was very passionate about her life and family.

She will be missed by many.
Born Aug. 7, 1916, in Manchester, Ky., she was the daughter of Luther and Sarah Bowlin Davidson, both of whom preceded her in death. On Dec. 26, 1936, in Jackson County, she married Oscar Roeder, who also preceded her in death.
