Antonia Flores Cavazos

Antonia married the love of her life, Manuel J. Cavazos, Sr. on February 21, 1950. Together in love, they began life in Corpus Christi, Texas. Antonia and Manuel were blessed with a beautiful family, whom she cherished. Antonia, or 'Momo' as she was lovingly known as, enjoyed taking care of her family. She was often found in the kitchen preparing wonderful meals for the family, she always offered a meal and a smile. There was always coffee and conversation at the dining room table. She was hard working in her home and enjoyed the company of others. When Momo was not tending to her family, she was often found outside in her garden. Momo was a beautiful woman of honesty and integrity. She was a dedicated and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, daughter, sister, and friend.
