Louise Florencourt is the first cousin of Flannery . Her mother, Agnes, and Flannery’s mother, Regina, were sisters. Louise was born in Savannah, but she was raised in Massachusetts, where she graduated from Radcliffe College and Harvard Law School. The Flannery O’Connor – Andalusia Foundation was established by Margaret Florencourt Mann and Louise Florencourt, the co-executors of the estate of Regina Cline O’Connor (Flannery’s mother) and the co-trustees of the Mary Flannery O’Connor Charitable Trust (the primary beneficiary of Mrs. O’Connor’s estate). Mrs. Mann and Miss Florencourt served as the inaugural directors of the Foundation.
