Flora Smith doesn't appear in the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid (OCFA). London-Middlesex county Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society has done a good job indexing Middlesex County cemeteries. Since she doesn't appear, she either had no marker or she moved somewhere else. There are 2 border crossings for Jessie Roome in 1915 from Toronto to Buffalo through Lewiston NY. This looks to be your Jessie - husband in Buffalo, name George W., Physical description of Jessie - hand off at wrist. But it also says for both times that there were no relatives in country from which she came. This must mean Flora maybe also moved to US.
