Fuquay-Varina- Flora Azalee Howard Amos, 89, passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 18, 2014. She was the daughter of Wingate and Mabel Flynn Howard. Flora was a lifelong resident of Fuquay-Varina, NC. She was very proud to have been born in Varina, NC. She cherished her childhood memories of visiting with family and friends on her parents front porch on Ennis Street. Floras adventures and travels always proved to be most interesting to family and friends. She was never at a loss for speaking her own mind. Flora loved to visit her Biscuitville each morning. She also loved hot dogs, donuts and popcorn. Flora was very patriotic and was an active member of the local American Legion for many years. She was one of the last members to sell poppies in honor of the WWI Veterans. Flora saw this as a way to honor her fathers and husbands military service.
