It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Betty Lou Flodman of Fernley, Nevada, aged 89.
Born in Arizona, the daughter of Olav and Magda of Norway, the youngest of 4 children: Vera (Mag), Anne (Bob), and Norman (Franci). She attended the University of Arizona graduating with her degree in education, becoming a teacher—her specialty being math.
In 1962 she married Harry “Stormy” Flodman in Carson City, Nevada. They had three children: Torrey (Terry), Eric (Kellie), and Kurt (Shannon). They raised their children in Minden, NV, operating several businesses in the Northern Nevada area. In 1982, they opened The Silver Spur Saloon in Fernley, eventually moving to the small town.
A few of the local causes she championed included the local Toys for Tots, Fernley High School Rodeo, Senior Pro Rodeo, Fernley Fourth of July, Fernley 4-H and the Boys and Girls Club of Fernley. She was a decades-long member of T.O.P.S. (Gardnerville and Fernley) as well as the Fernley Lunch Bunch.
To honor Betty’s commitment to the Fernley community, the family suggests a donation in lieu of flowers to the local Boys and Girls Club of Fernley 695 E. Main St, Fernley, NV 89408 or online at https://bgctm.org/get-involved/donate Select “Dedicate this Donation” and choose either In Honor Of or In Memory Of and put “Betty Flodman” in the box. This assures your donation goes to the local Fernley club.
She is survived by her 3 children, numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, other family including her sister-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins (in the US and Norway) along with numerous extended family members, dear friends and her faithful dog, Balto.
A Remembrance of Life will be held on November 15, 2-4 pm at the Meadows Event Center, Fernley, NV, followed by a Celebration of Life at The Silver Spur.
We are saddened by her passing but take joy in her memory and comfort in her continuing legacy.
