Maria Clara, a beloved, compassionate, and kind-hearted soul, passed away peacefully on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 98.
Born on June 11, 1926, Maria Clara was a cherished matriarch of the Flores family and a devoted educator who made her home in Montreal, Quebec. Her life was a testament to love, resilience, and unwavering devotion to family. Maria Clara’s presence was a constant source of warmth and strength. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the heart of her world, her greatest joy and deepest pride. She adored them with a love that was both fierce and tender, and her guidance, stories, and care shaped the very foundation of her family.
She is survived by her children: Maria-Catherine (Anthony), Romeo (Rosanna), Timoteo Jr. (Rosario), Josephine (Vassilios), Maria-Lourdes (Leo), Lizabeth (David), Angeline, Julie (Paul), and Reynaldo. She was the proud grandmother of Marianne, Melissa, Tommy, George, Leo Jr., Jessica, Jennifer, Afton, Samantha, Patrick, and Timothy.
