Jennifer Flores
Our beloved Mother, Jennifer Flores has gone home to be with those who have gone before her. She was born to Roy and Tonita Flores on March 29, 1961, in Roswell, NM. Jennifer attended elementary and middle school in Roswell before moving to Santa Ana, CA., where she continued her High School education.
Shortly after meeting her spouse, Raul Robledo Jr.
Jennifer served the communities of Roswell, Ruidoso, and Capitan, NM as a well-respected Probation Officer and Social Worker. She spent years tending to those most in need, with unwavering compassion and dedication. In 2004, Jennifer became a licensed foster parent, changing the lives of several children, who crowned her the title, “Mama Jen.” Today, she remains Mama Jen to several honorary children, nieces, and nephews.
Our mother enjoyed exploring the outdoors, where she often spent time hiking, camping, and picnicking. She had a love of romantic novels, the National Geographic Channel, and true crime documentaries. Mother also found great joy in singing and dancing to classic rock and 90’s country. Other hobbies include flower arranging, line dancing, cooking, baking, clowning around, and Memorial Day weekend at Bottomless Lakes.
Jennifer selflessly cared for her parents during the height of her career, embracing others’ needs before her own until the decline of her health nearly 10 years ago. On July 13, 2022, she succumbed to her long-term illnesses.
Jennifer is survived by her children, Raul Robledo and wife Cindy of Cheyenne, WY, Lil Roy Flores of Albuquerque, NM, Victoria Robledo of Roswell, NM, Deanna Linden and wife Tif of Gerrardstown, WV, and Chance Robledo and wife Lucy of Roswell, NM. Grandchildren Julie, Colton, Clay, Angelik, Miranda, Alexie, Alia, Melody, Anberlyn, Jesse, Hezekyah, Atalye, Rhett, Azekiah, and Silo. Also surviving are siblings Debra Luera and husband Charlie of Lubbock, TX, and Orlando Flores and wife Lisa of Pomona, CA.
She is proceeded in death by her spouse Raul; her parents Roy and Tonita, and her siblings, Linda, Roy, and Joseph and her grandson Arik.
The family wishes to publicly thank first and foremost, Lucy Robledo for dedicating her life to our mother for the last two years as she assumed responsibility as her primary caretaker. We would also like to thank Jessica, Maureen, Rosalia, and Stacy at Kindred Hospice, the staff at Fresenius Kidney Care, the ICU team at ENMMC for their efforts in caring for our mother in her final days.
Those still wishing to donate are encouraged to do so, in her name, via contribution to the following organizations: American Heart Association of New Mexico, National Kidney Association of New Mexico, American Diabetes Association of New Mexico, or American Liver Foundation of New Mexico.
