Chavela was preceded in death by her parents Ysabel and Sara Flores; Brother Armando Flores.

Chavela was known to be a loving wife, mother, grandmother and sister, who overcame any difficult obstacles in her life with such great strength and endurance with her faith in God along with her wooden cross.

(Rosie) Ramirez and Robert Ramirez all from Corpus Christi, Texas. She is also survived by her sisters, Gloria Ortiz, Lucy (Henry) Sendejo and Estella (Emilio) Jimenez.

Grandma Ramirez was a beautiful, petite, walking Giant in the eyes of her 22 grandchildren. They enjoyed her laughter, kindness, gentleness, warmth and love that only comes from a grandmother. Chavela was also blessed with 18 great grandchildren who felt her love, strength and touch that will never end.

Chavela’s family would like to express special appreciation and gratitude to Dr. Espina who cared for her for over 30 years. In her final days, Angel Bright Hospice helped her and her family to wipe away tears, pain, and fears until God wrapped her in His arms to take her home on Monday, November 5, 2012.
