Bernadine Flood

Her children thank everyone who helped care for their mother the past few years while she was at home. She was blessed to be surrounded by such loving friends, neighbors, and family. Birdie spent her last year at Jackson Ridge Rehabilitation and Care Facility, close to her daughter's home in North Canton, where she met new friends and was lovingly cared for by so many special staff and therapy workers.

She is survived by her loving children, Scott Flood of Las Vegas, and Cindy Flood Ries of North Canton; treasured grandchildren Bre Ries and Josh (Angela) Ries; and sweet great-grandsons Aiden and Gavin Rausch. In addition she leaves her brother with whom she shared many good times, Leonard R Lashley; sister-in-law Delores Lashley; and brother-in-law Ray (Shirley) Flood; and many other family, friends, and neighbors.

Bernadine was preceded in death by her siblings and in-laws Winifred (Sis) and Bill Rich; Wilma (Bob) Sell; Mildred (Boudle) and Nick Meighen; Mary Alice (Massie), Robert Bates, and George Rumble; William (Esther) Lashley; and Donald Lashley.

Visitation will be held Friday (Sept 1, 2017) from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Thorn-Black Funeral Home in Quaker City. A celebration of Bernadine's life will be 10:00 a.m. Saturday (Sept. 2, 2017) at Kennonsburg United Methodist Church with Pastors Mark Slay and Jim Lee officiating. A graveside service will follow at Quaker City Friends Cemetery with a meal afterward at the church.

In lieu of flowers, Birdie's children ask that you consider taking a few moments to brighten someone's day by visiting an elderly neighbor friend or someone in a nursing home facility. A short visit means so much. Memorial contributions may also be made to The Alzheimer's Association, Greater East Ohio Area Chapter,70 W. Streetsboro St., Suite 20, Hudson, Ohio 44236.
