Flora Annie Miles Duncan age 99, quietly joined her loved ones in heaven on February 8, 2023 surrounded by her loving family.

Flora was the eldest daughter of Henry Lee and Mary Morris Miles, and was married to the love of her life, Norman Van Duncan.

Flora and Norman had 5 children. After all the kids were in school, Flora completed the requirements for a teaching certificate. Most of her teaching career was in the fourth grade at Westmore and Scera Park Elementary schools. She was a talented educator and influenced many students.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she enjoyed finding - as she put it - cousins with Family Search. Flora would spend several hours each day working on the computer searching for, puzzling out, and correcting family history entries.

Part of her world travels involved being a missionary for the church. Flora completed 5 different missions. First, to the Central States mission where she met Elder Duncan. Then after she retired, she served in Norway, Washington D.C., Thailand, and finally Switzerland.

In later years, Flora became involved with Elder Quest, a senior continuing educational organization associated with Utah Valley University. She is a founder and charter member of Elder Quest. With the advent of Covid, Zoom meetings allowed her to continue participating in classes even after her eyesight failed. Flora loved learning new things!

Flora was an avid naturalist and travelled extensively to go bird watching and discover the flora and fauna found around the world. Some trips were educational in nature, others to go bird watching. Of course, there were the overseas missions, and when she discovered cruising, she was able to take many less strenuous trips.

Flora is preceded in death by her parents and siblings, her husband Norman Van Duncan, a daughter Rebecca (Jean) LeVanger, one grandson and two great granddaughters.

She is survived by her children Stephanie (Warren) Taylor, Esther Duncan, Taylor (Mary) Duncan, and Gaile (David) Sheffer. Flora and Norman are blessed with 16 grandchildren, 42 great grandchildren, and 1 great, great grandson.
