My sympathy to the family. I pray for God's Love, Peace, and Comfort in your hearts. She was a fine Christian lady with a heart of gold. She was one of God's children and she showed it every day. Flossie and I started working for TSA at the same time. We were in the 2nd training class. Most people don't know that Flossie was the first TSA officer in America to detect components for an explosive device in an actual passenger's carry-on bag. She was flown to TSA's headquarters in Washington, D.C. to receive an award for that. In the 14 years that I worked with her, I never heard her say anything bad about anyone. I am proud to call her my friend.I'll see you again, Flossie

From the moment I met Flossie, she embraced me, and that embrace has lasted over 30 years. There has never been a time in my life when she hasn’t encouraged or cheered for me. I am forever grateful to call her my big sister. Family, I love you all, and though Flossie’s passing will leave a void in all of our hearts, I encourage us to channel the love she always showed us to comfort one another during this incredibly difficult time. Her spirit of love and support will continue to guide us, just as it always has.

We, the Southeast High School Black Alumni of Oklahoma City, offer our deepest condolences for the loss of Flossie Semmions Ridley. We have been searching for Alice, Belinda and Flossie for over 12 yrs. We were had misspelled the last name. So, this loss is very heartbreaking for as well because most of committee members went to school with all four Semmion sister who were basketball stars. I was close to Darlene and Flossie because I played girls basketball as well. All of Flossie's good qualities were evident when she was just a freshman in high school. It's so good to know that she loved The Lord and encouraged others to love Him. I hope we'll get a chance to see the family and never get disconnected again. We are praying, asking God to comfort you all through this extremely difficult season. We love you, dearly.🌺
