Flora Elizabeth Cooley, 93, of Pace FL, passed away Friday, February 6, 2026. Flora was born on June 20, 1932 in Caruthersville, Missouri to Mary and Charlie Ash.

She was a hair beautician and loved to paint. She married Earl Cooley on April 15, 1950, in Lucedale Mississippi. They were married for a beautiful 66 years before Earl went home in heaven in 2016.

She is proceeded in death by her parents, Mary and Charlie Ash; her husband, Earl Cooley; her two sisters, Evelyn Null and Phyllis Hodge; her two brothers, Jack Ash and Henry Ash and her son, Micheal Earl Cooley.

Flora leaves to cherish her memory, is her children, Patricia (Ray) Sunday, Audrea Dawn Cooley, Ronald (Pam) Cooley, Donald Cooley, Stephen (Sarrah) Cooley, Elizabeth Cooley and her 21 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren, whom she loved all dearly.

Flora (mawmaw, mama) was a woman of faith. Her answer to any problem was "Pray about it" or "Trust Jesus"! And that wasn't just words to her she believed it and lived it! She is gone to be with the one she believed in and trusted most but God will still be answering her prayers!

As she always said,

"La-Ti-Da"
