After her mother passed away, Flora at the age of 12 together with her older sister, Gertrude helped raise her younger siblings.
Flora met and married her lifelong love, Nicomedez Romero on May 23, 1942 during the start of World War II.

In the intervening years Flora saw her husband only once while raising her oldest child, Nicomedez Geraldo in the community of EI Alto until he returned 2 1/2 years later.
