Reynalda Flores

Reynalda "Reyna" Flores passed away on March 22, 2024 after battling a brief illness. She was surrounded by her two older son's and caring husband who never left her side.

She was born on January 5, 1960 to parents Herminia and Edmundo in the small town of Pedernales, Chih, Mexico. She was one of 8 children: Josefa; Jesus; Socorro; Julieta; Maria; late Carlos and Manuel.

Reyna met Jose in the 1980's and they started their family with the birth of Manuel Alejandro in 1989. A few years later, they then welcomed their second son Rodolfo "Rudy" in 1993. An opportunity later presented itself and that same year, they decided to leave Mexico. Alongside their two children, they moved to Lafayette, IN, where they married on March 21, 1994 and shortly after, welcomed their third child Reina.

They remained in Lafayette for a few months then made the move to Cheyenne, WY to be closer to Jose's father. In Cheyenne, Reyna and her family remained in the same residence for the remainder of her life. She nurtured and cared for her children full-time and built her life alongside her husband. In 2018 she was blessed with her first grandchild Ian, and in 2021 her second grandchild Milo. She cared for both boys from the time that they were infants and grew a strong bond with them. Her grandchildren quickly became the light of her life.

Reyna was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She loved to maintain her garden and decorate for every holiday. She had a passion for dancing and loved to fill the house with sounds of her favorite music every opportunity she had. Any bejeweled clothing or nice colored nail polish always caught her eye. Each holiday she dedicated a great deal of time and energy to make delicious traditional Mexican dishes and made any guest feel welcomed.

Reyna was preceded in death by her brothers Manuel and Carlos, and her parents Edmundo and Herminia. She is survived by her loving husband of 30 years Jose, sons Manuel and Rudy (Amelia), daughter Reina (Monica), and her two grandchildren.
