Flora Baumbach
Flora Baumbach is a 60 year old retired woman, who lives in apartment 2C of Sunset Towers. She used to be a dressmaker, and made a wedding dress for Violet Westing, Sam Westing's Daughter. She had a husband who left her, and a daughter who died of pneumonia at age 19. She also made a Wedding dress for Angela Wexler at the beginning of the book.
Flora's partner in the Westing Game was Turtle Wexler. They received the clue "SEA MOUNTAIN AM O." Turtle thinks that it means to invest in the stock market, so she and Flora buy shares of SEA, AMO, and since the will told them to "buy Westing Paper Products," they bought shares of WPP. Even though this wasn't the solution to the Westing Game, Turtle ended up making millions off the stock market. Turtle shares a close bond with Flora, calling her "Baba." She later moves in with Turtle.
