Benilda Alicia Flores' Obituary
Benilda Flores Aguilar entered the loving arms of our Lord on 11/22/2023 at the age of 76 years old. Mrs. Flores was born in Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico on 1/28/1947 to Jose Flores and Alicia Aguilar and adopted by her grandparents, Braulio Aguilar and Petra Sanchez.
Benilda Flores Aguilar was a gracious, loving and devoted mother of four children who adored and cherished her. She was strong in her faith and had a close relationship with the Lord. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her sisters, whether it was at church functions, the Community Center or simply traveling with her family. One of her favorite pastimes was playing loteria. She also loved cooking for her family and making tortillas was always a treat, however she was known for the delicious Posole and Menudo she cooked. Anytime she cooked Menudo, and people found out, there was always a request to save a bowl for them. The unconditional love she had for her children and grandchildren was apparent and genuinely felt by all.
Benilda Flores Aguilar is preceded in death by her parents Jose Flores and Alycia Aguilar; her adopted parents and grandparents, Braulio Aguilar and Petra Sanchez; her brother, Jesus Sanchez; and her beloved son, Roberto Clemente Flores.
