A hard-working, kind soul who devoted her life to serving others. Flora, age 93, died peacefully on April 26, 2021.
Daughter of Anselmo and Elvira (Valentine) Pavani. Wife of the dearly missed Joseph D Farinelli. Beloved mom of Linda Kamzelski, Patricia (Ken) Sewald, Jeanne (Bob) Dippel, Joe (Leslie) Farinelli, and Don (Jeanne) Farinelli.

Flora loved playing bridge, volunteering, and was an avid reader. She learned how to oil paint and play piano in her 80’s. She inspired us all to never stop learning.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be sent in Flora’s name to Good Samaritan Hospice, 116 Browns Hill Rd. Suite 100, Valencia, PA 16059
Joe, Leslie & family, Deepest sympathy for the recent passing of your Mom. Our thoughts & prayers to the Farinelli Clan. Sincerely, Bob & Mary Ellen
Our parents friendship went back to square dancing in the fire hall. Flora and Joe road in the limo with mom and dad on their 50 th wedding anniversary and believe it or not your mom had a glass of champagne!
After your dad passed my dad was on a campaign to get Flora to Sherwood Oaks…lucky for them she finally listened because she did so much for that place.
If ever a person earned the right to complain about arthritis pain it was Flora yet she never did…always kind and gracious.
I know she was very very proud of everyone of her kids even when they made purses out of Walmart bags!
May she be Grand Slamming it in heaven with your dad and my parents.
Sincerely,
daughter of Gene and Betty Renckly…Susan
I met Flora only once when my late husband,Augie,and I visited her. She was so gracious and she and Augie enjoyed a couple hours of reminiscing. She left a lovely, lasting impression with me. I’m sorry for your loss.
Linda, Patti, Jeanne, Joey, Donald and all family members,
I loved Aunt Flora. She was always kind and thoughtful and made me feel valued. She has truly left a legacy of love. May God grant her rest where the light of His Countenance shines, and may her memory be eternal.
Sending Love and prayers to you all.
It sounds like a life well-lived! I am sorry for your loss Don & Jeanne and to all of the Farinelli clan.
Our deepest sympathies to your entire family. Your Mom & Dad raised a bunch of wonderful children and grandchildren. She will be missed, but what a wonderful life she had.
