Flora J. (Farnsworth) Anderson, 80, of Salina, beloved wife of E. Dale Anderson, died Tuesday, September 10, 2013. She was born January 4, 1933 in McPherson, Kansas, daughter of the late W.E. and Dorothy (Mosing) Farnsworth.
Flora was a homemaker and volunteer for many years in both McPherson and Salina. Flora later worked at the Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, where she became a friendly and familiar face to the community for over 10 years. Flora then dedicated the following 10 years to St. Francis of Salina before retiring.
Flora loved gardening, reading, sewing, but her greater joy was a fun game of cards with Dale, family, and friends.
Flora was preceded in death by her parents; 2 brothers, Wayne Farnsworth, David Farnsworth; and brother-in-law, Dennis Anderson.
Survivors include her husband, Dale of 62 years; two daughters, Karen Collins (Bryan) of Clyde Hill, Washington, and Dalene Anderson of Lenexa, Kansas; six grandchildren, Matthew Collins, (Kim and son, J.T.) of Seattle, Washington, Chris Tomassian (Morgan) of Annandale, Virginia, Sarah Collins of Seattle, Washington, Caitlin Collins of Clyde Hill, Washington, Ashley Tomassian of Scottsdale, Arizona, and Leah Tomassian of Lawrence, Kansas; two great-grandchildren, Cadence Collins of Seattle, Washington, and Ryan Tomassian of Annandale, Virginia.

The family would like to thank the countless caring health providers at Presbyterian Manor, Salina Regional Health Center and Hospice of Salina, who took such loving care of Flora. We are forever grateful.
