Beatrice Lozano Flores, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunt entered eternal rest on Monday June 20th at the age of 102. She is survived by her children, Gloria Taylor and Vincent E. Flores (Cindy), grandchildren Melissa Taylor Knodell (Les), Vincent P. Flores (Michael), and Paul Taylor (Dana), great-grandchildren, Sarah Hernandez, Victoria Knodell, John Paul Taylor, Christopher Knodell, and Sophie Taylor, as well as nieces and nephews. Beatrice was preceded in death by her husband Vincent R. Flores, parents Antonio and Juanita Lozano, and siblings Sarah Martinez, Tony Lozano, and Irene Villapadierna.
Those that know and love Bea will remember her as a joyful, generous person. She was a fantastic cook, baker, and consummate hostess. She was devoted to all her family and was called Grandma and Aunt Bea by many friends of her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well.
Bea had deep faith and a special devotion to the Infant Jesus to whom she offered up many prayers on behalf of family and friends. She was a long-time parishioner at the Little Flower Basilica where she was a member of the Children of Mary before marrying her beloved, Vincent at Little Flower in 1941.
We all loved her deeply and will hold her in our hearts forever.
Many thanks to New Century Hospice for helping care for Beatrice during her final days.
