Dear Whit, Robert, and Lindsay,
Your mom was truly a wonderful woman, loved by so many people of all ages and backgrouds. I wanted to attend her service, but was at home with the flu. I'm certain that it was a beautiful and moving tribute to her courage, stength, and sweetness.
Mary Flo was kind, caring, and patient, and she always gave her time and energy freely to help others. As you realize, she adored you three, and I know you'll miss her terriby. We were all fortunate to have known her. I'm glad you have each other and so many good memories of happier times. Take care o each other. Love, Jenny Boshears

Lou, my heartfelt condolences go out to you across the miles and the span of time. I remember your entire family with such fondness from those days in Newport long ago. I just know that Mary Wynne and Mary Flo have become reacquainted and are catching up on all things Newport. It's very hard being the last member of you immediate family, but we both have wonderful memories of our respective families to cherish. Love, Kaki

I was deeply saddened to hear about Mary Flo passing away. I knew her husband and her from the days when I worked at the Pulaski County Sheriffs Dept and on Robbies death was very appreciative of her work to help others who had lost their officer, husbands,wives,and family. Her work with COPS was greatly appreciated and an honor to Robbie. Mary will be missed, but she and Robbie are together again and very happy I am sure. She was truly a blessing to my 35 years in law enforcement,at the Pulaski County Sheriff's Dept. and the Benton Police Dept.

Our prayers to her family. Charlie & Jan Carty

Mary Flo, Ginger and I became friends when we taught at Wilson Elementary School. Mary Flo was a wonderful teacher and an even more wonderful person. We had great times together going to movies, concerts and playing hearts with her and Sarah. Our deepest condolences to her family.

I am so glad that I knew Mary Flo. We were Sigma Kappas together at UCA. She was such a sweet, sincere and caring friend and was loved and admired by all who knew her -- always smiling and always ready to share her witty outlook and observations about the whole college experience. As we moved on from school and into our separate worlds our paths would cross, usually at the grocery store, and we would have a little mini visit about old times and present days. I will miss those visits, but I will cherish the memories of a good friend.

Mary Flo, with a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face, is an unforgettable friend. She is a model of courage and strength, and lived her life as an inspiration to others. It was such a privilege to serve with her on the Arkansas Crisis Response Team. She had a way of making anyone in her presence feel special. How she will be missed!
Mary Flo was so devoted to her sons, and so very proud of them. I pray that the love and support of family and friends, and the Peace of Christ give you comfort.
May God Bless you,
Karen Lowery

I met Mary Flo through her Concerns of Poilice Survivors-A wonderful woman who used her life experiences to help young officers at the law enforcement academies, she had one of the kindest hearts I know. A great loss for many of us. To her family-she blessed so many of us with her spirit, she'll be especially welcomed up above...

Mary Flo and I became friends years ago when we lived together and taught at the elementary school in Wilson, Arkansas. I was blessed to know her as a fellow-teacher and most of all, a dear friend. I admired Mary Flo so much; everything she did was done with excellence. I will remember her with much love and many wonderful memories.

Mary Flo was born in Newport, Arkansas where my mom Emily Watson Wilkinson was born and where my grandmother Irma Watson lived. We used to visit Newport every year and always enjoyed our Lindsay cousins.. We also visited with our Lindsay cousins and the Floyd cousins - my Dad's older sister and her children - Leslie Jeanne, Wayne and Lucille in Yazoo City, Mississippi where the grandparents Wilkinson lived and oh how much fun we would have when we all got together - Wilkinson, Lindsay and Floyd cousins. We were indeed a noisy group.. Through the years, we girl cousins have remained close and have kept intouch with each other..Our Mary Flo will be dearly missed and a special place in my heart will always be for her.. To Whit, Robert, Lindsay, and Lou.. my very special love to each of you.. mimi

The members of the Little Rock Fraternal Order of Police were very sad to hear about Mary Flo. She has done so much for Police Officers and their families and she will be greatly missed. Our sincere condolances go out to her family. We were lucky to have known Mary Flo.

Mary Flo was my first cousin; we grew up together at family visits with our maternal grandparents (my mother, Jeanne Wilkinson, was the sister of Mary Flo's mother, Marian Lindsay Wilkinson)who we knew as "Nonnie" and "Doc" (C.L. Wilkinson)in Yazoo City, MS. After lots of water under our respective bridges (Mary Flo's husband's tragic death, and the ending of my first marriage), Mary Flo was the one who made the effort to connect again with me and my wife, Nancy Lee, in Washington, DC. We both remember with great fondness that evening eating a steak dinner with Mary Flo and remembering former times, as well as sharing future plans. We all will miss her greatly, but we will never be prouder of anyone in our family than we are of her.

Words cannot express my feeling for losing such a good friend in Mary Flo. She fought awfully hard to lead a good life, and she did for 65 years.
