Gracie Flores
God gracefully placed wings on our loving mother “Gracie Flores” as her husband of 56 years (Anniversary on April 14th) came to guide her into heaven so they may rest in eternal peace together.
Gracie Flores, 75, of Texas City, Texas passed away at her home, on the evening of April 10, 2018. She was born in Galveston, Texas on October 18, 1942.
A longtime resident of the Galveston County area, Gracie was a member of the St. Mary of the Miraculous Medal Catholic Church in Texas City.
As we lay our mother to rest with our beloved father, we would like everyone to know a few things about our mother, grandmother, aunt and friend. She was kind, nice, compassionate and always willing to help anyone. She was the best cook ever; we loved her tortillas, roast and her tamales. She opened our house to many of my father’s friends, neighbor’s kids and all 6 of her children’s buddies.
This is not a good bye; this is a celebration of her life in heaven resting in peace with our father. This was her wish to reunite with her true love. We will always miss her and we look forward to all reuniting as a family one day.
Gracie is preceded in death by her parents, husband Charles G. Flores, son Charles “Little Charlie” Flores, seven brothers and three sisters. She is survived by her children; Jimmie Flores (Diane), Celina Bullock (Wayne), Luciano Flores (Holly), Anna Brown (Wesley), and Elaine Zaragoza (Corey Cridland) all of Texas City; her sister Nina Simon (Vern). Also left behind to cherish her memory are her ten grandchildren; Shane Flores (Rebecca), Brian Flores, Ashley McCartney (Tom), Dustin Flores (Nikki), Heather Jo Flores, Dillon Bullock, Raylene Zaragoza, Brayden Zaragoza, Emily Brown and Grayson Flores and her five great-grandchildren; Ysabella Flores, Preston McCartney, ‘Lil Brian Flores, Mia McCartney, and Jaxon McCartney.
The family would like to give special thanks to her bestie Stella Fredricks and Harbour Hospice Care Team.

We will miss and love you Aunt Gracie. My condolences to your family.
Our condolences and lots of love to my cousins and their families. We are grateful to have Aunt Gracie in our lives. She was a true blessing and will be missed dearly.
My heart and prayers go out to all the family and friends, she was such a sweetheart. I’m sure Momma and Theresa will be there to greet her. All my love to you.
I will miss Miss Gracie. I always waved to her in the swing when I was walking my dog. She always had a smile on her face and was so kind, asking about me and my family. I pray for Celina and all of the family for strength and guidance. I know Miss Gracie has been sick and suffering for a long time and now she is resting in the arms of Jesus with no pain. A new angel is in heaven now watching over all of us. Rest In Peace, Miss Gracie! Kim Ivy ✝️🙏🌸
