Flonnie fiercely loved Jesus, her family, her church and church family, UK basketball and anyone she ever met. She was so proud of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. She loved going to and supporting them in all their events.

Flonnie accepted Christ at an early age and was a long-time member of Faith Baptist Church. She loved singing in the choir and for many years, she served as the treasurer of the women's auxiliary. She continued to be a faithful member, even after her health prevented her from attending in person. For the last 40 years, she was the primary caregiver for her only son Arlie Dewayne Winchester, for as long as she was physically able. She soon developed a special bond with Dewayne's daytime caregiver Lois Logan and considered her family.

Although she endured many, many trials and tribulations, her faith never wavered.  She was loved by so many and will be greatly missed until we see her again at the gates of Heaven.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM in the chapel of Hickey Funeral Home. Thursday, December 4, 2025, visitation will begin at 8:00 am up to the funeral hour of 11:00 AM at Faith Baptist Church. Burial will be in the Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery.
