Norma Flores, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, entered into eternal peace at the age of 69 on October 17, 2023. She had a close bond with her parents and sisters and together they shared a lifetime of joy, laughter, and cherished memories. Norma’s devotion to her family extended to her role as a grandmother. She took great pleasure in hearing about her grandchildren’s sports stories and successes. In addition to her love for her family, Norma had a tremendous love for her friends, whom she’s known for more than 50 years. Her friends truly became her family. Norma’s kind and selfless nature was evident in everything she did. She always prioritized the needs of others before her own and brought warmth and love to everyone she encountered.
