Rachel was born November 27,1954 in Brownfield, Texas to Eliseo P. Martinez, Sr. and Teresa Garza Martinez. She married Patrick Adame, Jr. and he preceded her in death. She later met Felix H. Flores, Jr. and they shared 23 wonderful years together and were married on March 10, 2011. Rachel was a very loving and giving homemaker who devoted her life to her family. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a heart of “Gold.” During the holidays her kindheartedness and her giving nature helped many young children receive gifts that they would not have had a chance to receive and it always made them feel so special. Rachel’s strength and faith always allowed her to persevere through all of the rough times in life and she was able to be an incredible example to her children and others. Rachel’s beautiful light, love and life will live on in our hearts forever! She was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Tim Martinez. She is survived by her loving family, Husband, Felix H. Flores, Jr, of San Angelo; her Children, Corina Castilleja and boyfriend Oscar Obregon, of San Angelo, Imelda and Solo L.
