My Grandmother, Flo Ellen Wimmer married her 3rd cousin Winfield Scott Wimmer. Scott was a dentist in Cherokee, Kansas. There were called by all Flo and Doc. To us, they were Mommy Flo and Daddy Doc.

.

Doc lived in Liberal, MO and Flo lived in Liberal, KS. As their mail would occasionally become mixed up, they were aware of each other's families. On a hunting trip with his Father and brothers, Doc met and fell in love with Flo. The day they met, Flo had just graduated from high school. She was in her pretty graduation dress sitting at the piano and flowers were everywhere. How could a young man resist? The rest is history!

.
Mommy Flo was my sister Beverly's and my 'favorite and best'. How we loved her. I remember combing her hair playing beauty parlor! She was strong and pretty and very social, actually ran with the in-crowd, the socially elite! That must of been something back then, the 30's through the 50's. I'm sure society still has their socially elite, but in these days, in my 'social' environiment, that is something I don't see.
.

We were both born in October, 50 years apart. She was a victim of alzheimers and passed away in October 1982. If still alive, she would be 110 now - yikes!

Happy Mother's Day Mommy Flo, until we meet again ...

Goodnight
