Floran L. Mast, 97, Elkhart, entered into the joy of his Lord and Savior on Nov. 17, 2020, at Hubbard Hill Estates. He left a legacy of faithfulness. Floran was born Nove. 14, 1923, in Elkhart County to Albert and Goldie (Culp) Mast.

He married Naomi Golden June 15, 1947, in Nappanee. She preceded him in death Dec. 20, 2019.

Surviving is their daughter Renee (David) Wise of Wakarusa. Also surviving are sisters-in-law, Elsie (Eldon) Mast and Nila (Paul) Mast, both of Elkhart.

Floran was preceded in death by his parents, wife, sister, Miriam Sloat, and brothers, Paul Mast and Eldon Mast.

Floran graduated from Wakarusa High School in 1942 and worked as a farmer until the Lord called him into full time ministry. He attended Fort Wayne Bible College where he graduated in 1949. He then went on to pastor Cedar Road Missionary Church until 1961 when he became the Church Extension Director for the North Central District of the Missionary Church. During this time, he also worked as Administrative Assistant for the North Central District. In 1971 he was assigned the task of beginning a retirement facility for the Missionary Church. After many prayers, struggles, setbacks, blessings, and hard work the dream became reality with the building of Hubbard Hill Estates where Floran then worked as administrator for 20 years.

Floran and Naomi were members of St. Mark Missionary Church.
