Flora Call Disney (April 22, 1868 – November 26, 1938) was the mother of Walt Disney and his brother Roy.

Family

Flora Call was the daughter of Elias Disney's father's neighbors and was of German-American descent. She was a lively, even-tempered woman who enjoyed reading stories to her children and playing games with them. She was born in Steuben, Ohio near the now famous amusement park Cedar Point.

Death

Flora died in 1938 in an accident that plagued her son Walt with guilt for the rest of his life. After the success of their film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", Walt and Roy presented their parents with a new home in North Hollywood, near the Disney studios in Burbank, California. Less than a month after moving in, Flora complained to Walt and Roy of problems with the gas furnace in her new home. Studio repairmen were sent to the house, but the problem was not adequately fixed. Flora wrote a letter to her daughter Ruth describing the wonderful new home, but again complaining of the fumes from the furnace. A few days later, Flora died of asphyxiation caused by the faulty furnace.
