Florence “Flo” Johns Minnix
Florence \"Flo\" Ann Johns Minnix, 73, of Bedford, died Tuesday, Oct. 5, 2010 at her residence. Born May 11, 1937 in Midland, MI, a daughter of the late Anna May Bamford Johns and Allen Joseph Johns.
Flo was a member of St. John\"™s Episcopal Church where she served as Senior Warden on the Vestry and on the Altar Guild for many years. She was also a member of the Bedford Lioness Club, Garden Club of Bedford and Bedford Book Forum. She was a volunteer with Bedford Christian Ministries, Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and supporter of Bedford Domestic Violence Services. She was voted Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Volunteer in 1998. Flo was full of grace and pride. Her selflessness and graciousness reached many in the Bedford community. She never asked for help and never hesitated to give to others. Flo\"™s character of sturdiness made her a pillar to her family, friends and the community. Many would say a spot in heaven has been reserved for Flo through her works on earth.
In addition to her parents, Flo was preceded in death by her husband, The Honorable W. Raymond Minnix. She is survived by two daughters, Melody M. Kraft and her husband, Robert of Sterling, VA and Cynthia M. Rebibo and her husband, Michael of Oakton, VA; four grandchildren, Kyle W. Kraft, Eric W. Kraft, Jacques Raymond Rebibo and Alexa Rae Rebibo; and three siblings, Marcia Naes of Naples, FL, Edith Guizzetti of Marietta, WI and Robert Johns of Midland, MI.
