Golomb, Mrs. Flora C. (Toots), of Saginaw, Michigan, passed away peacefully at home where she was called to her Eternal home on Monday, December 27, 2010. Age 86 years. Flora was born on April 27, 1924, in Sebewaing, MI, to the late Leonard and Clara (Rummel) Eberlein. She was married to John J. Golomb on July 27, 1946, and he predeceased her on March 30, 1975. She developed her strong work ethics at the Rummel family grocery store in Sebewaing while growing up. She moved to Saginaw and was employed at Saginaw Products during WWII, Grey Iron Foundry, and retired from Saginaw Steering Gear in salary payroll.

Her ‘shut ins’ and other friends would always look forward to her visits because of her sense of humor, pranks, and positive attitude. Laughter, faith, generosity, and love were endless gifts to her family and friends. Her life was devoted to being a good ‘Samaritan’, a proud mother, and grandmother. She loved to travel and work on projects at the home that she built, including her new kitchen. She was always planning bus trips, social gatherings and welcoming guests at her home where she was known by all as a perfect hostess.
