Mrs. Florene A. Tidwell went to be with the Lord July 3, 2017. Florene Avanell Tidwell was born July 22, 1920 to Aubrey and Ora Lee (Porter) West in Nemo, Texas. In 1941, she married Roy Carl Morton and made a home for him and their two sons, Roy Anthony and Bobby David. Roy went to work for Pinkie's Liquor Store chain and his career kept the family on the move; to San Angelo, Midland, Lubbock, and Abilene, then finally back to San Angelo where they had kept a home. Roy passed away in 1982, at the age of 72. Flo eventually married D. Jack Tidwell, and they settled in Abilene, and then returned to Flo's home in San Angelo. Jack died in 2001. Flo devoted her life to her family. She was an ever-patient, loving mother to her boys, educated herself on many areas of interest, and enjoyed traveling. She had a sharp wit, could talk intelligently on any subject, and was never afraid to say what she thought. Flo is preceded in death by her parents, her brothers, Herbert and Charles and her husband's Roy Morton and Jack Tidwell. She is survived by her sister Leta Moses; her sons, Roy and Bobby and her grandchildren, Kimberly Morton Hawkins and Chase Anthony Morton. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. "A good wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels." (Proverbs 31: 10) Flo Tidwell was a wonderful wife and mother, and far more precious than jewels.
