Regardless, she approached life with an open heart, and has left a footprint of love on countless lives. Flo is survived by her husband, Donald; daughter, Marie Lucado (Raleigh, NC); her son, Richard Day (Winchester, VA); her grandchildren Peyton Lucado, Bradley Lucado, Grace Day (Raleigh, NC) and Micah Day (Winchester, VA); and her sister, Helen Balling (Missouri).
