Flora Chavez

1934- 2025 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Flora Chavez, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, on February 27, 2025. She was 90 years old at the time of her passing. Flora was a woman whose life was defined by her intense focus, unwavering dedication to her family, and her selflessness. Born on June 29, 1934 in Tajique, New Mexico. Flora brought joy, laughter, and love to all who knew her. As a mother and grandmother, she was a constant presence in the lives of her children and grandchildren, always ready to share a moment, offer a hug, or steal away a grandchild for a special adventure. Her love for her family was unmatched, and she nurtured and protected them with a fierce and unbreakable spirit. A woman of remarkable strength and character, Flora was tough as nails and determined in everything she did. Whether it was tending to her garden (which flourished thanks to her amazing green thumb), continuing the tradition of tamale making with the whole family, or taking long drives to enjoy the simplicity of life, she approached each task with fearlessness and grace. Flora was a woman of many talents. Self-taught in so many areas, including masonry, sewing, catering, building, and entrepreneurship. She had an impeccable sense of humor, a sharp wit, and a smile that could light up any room—complete with the most beautiful dimples. Her love for learning and sharing her knowledge made her an incredible teacher, and she passed on her wisdom to all who were lucky enough to know her. As much as she was a protector, Flora was also a social butterfly. She loved to be with her friends and family, and her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and music. She loved dancing, her sweet treats, her jewelry, and especially the holidays—Christmas being her favorite time of the year. Her devotion to her faith was central to her life. A devout Catholic, she prayed often, loved Jesus deeply, and found solace in praying her rosary every night. Her generous heart and giving spirit were a source of inspiration to everyone who knew her. Flora will be deeply missed by her family, who will strive to continue her legacy of love, joy, and faith. Rest in peace, mom. Your spirit will live on in the hearts of all who loved you. Pallbearers will be, Charles Salazar, Robert Chavez, Max Salazar, Sal Hernandez, Eli Salazar and Anthony Juan Chavez. Honorary Pallbearers, Damien Chavez, Anthony Issac Chavez. Please sign Flora’s online tribute at www.romerofuneralhomenm.com Romero Funeral Home, 609 N. Main St., Belen, NM.
