Ms. Flora D. Ridgel, after 61 years, surrendered her soul to Jesus on Wednesday morning, February 6, 2013 from her home in Muskogee.
Flora Ridgel was born on May 22, 1951 to the late Evander and Rosetta Ridgel, .
Flora, also lovingly referred to as "Flo," had the most giving heart. Her purpose on this earth was well served, as she has touched so many throughout the years. She not only cared deeply for her family, but also had a huge heart for others. She spent much of her life working in nursing homes and providing assistance to the elderly as well as the physical and mentally disabled in Muskogee. She will truly be missed!

Her eldest sister and brother, Armelia Caldwell and E.B. Ridgel, both of Muskogee, OK preceded her in death.
Service arrangements are pending at this time.
