Guadalupe Flores Hernandez passed away at the age of 91 on January 7, 2022, in Stockton, CA. Born on December 20, 1930, in Irapuato, Guanajuato Mexico, one of 9 children born to Agustin Flores and Juana Rocha. She was married to Victoriano Hernandez on January 11, 1960, and immigrated to Stockton, California shortly thereafter.
She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, self-taught seamstress, and friend. Guadalupe was devoted to her Catholic faith which she and her husband instilled in their family. She was an optimist, very witty, funny, and kind, and enjoyed every opportunity to attend a party or family gathering.
She is survived by her 4 children Victor (Angeles), Josie (David), David (Ana), and Lupe, 8 grandchildren David Andrew, Adriana, Marcos, Steven, Alyssa, Joseph, Anthony, and Grace, and a sister Agustina Flores. She will be remembered for being dedicated to her family throughout her life. She was an exceptional cook warming the home with the scent of homemade tortillas, and she filled their home with love and joy. From cooking favorite meals, knitting cozy blankets, or sharing her needlework skills, Guadalupe was the center of the family and always made sure they came first.
Era una gran mujer y una gran madre, y como ella no hay otra.
