She grew up in Garden Grove where she still has several friends that she has known since kindergarten. Council Member Flory and her husband Bill have been married for 50 years. They and their then three-year-old twins, Mike and Rob, moved to Fullerton in 1970. All four of them are graduates of CSUF.
