Flor Maria Almodovar (Colon), 74, passed away on Friday, April 8, 2016 in Providence, RI, after a prolonged illness. Flor was surrounded by her loving family when she was called to the Lord. She was born in Guanica, Puerto Rico on December 6, 1941, a daughter of the late Carlos Almodovar and the late Monserate Alvarez.
Flor is survived by her son, Jay Malave, her sister, Francia, her great-nieces Josephine, Yahaira and Yesenia, and her nieces Judy and Marilyn, along with many family and friends who will miss her dearly.
Flor Maria spent most of her youth in Puerto Rico, where she landed her first job of civil defense secretary for her district. Known for her ease in frequent conversation with even total strangers, some may be surprised to learn of the extreme shyness of her youth. Yet even as a child, she possessed a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many who even now are being changed by her witness of constant nurturing, love and faith. Her signature gift of joy, shown through her constant smiling, laughter, and joking around, will never be forgotten.
