Carolina Flores Morales

December 10, 1928 — January 14, 2021

Carolina Flores Morales, beloved daughter, sister, mother, and grandmother passed away on January 14, 2021. The daughter of Jesus Flores and Engracia Morales, Carolina was born December 10, 1928, in Cd. Guerrero, Chihuahua, México. She is survived by five siblings, María, Carmen, Juventino, Roberto, Benjamín, her sons, Benjamín and Ramón, daughters-in-law, Jana and Nanette, and grandchildren, Brandon, Nicolas, Luisa Isabel and Diana Carolina. As one of 13 siblings, Carolina grew up in a loving environment where the warmth of a wood stove, a strong work ethic and a sense of decency were the norm. Her favorite memories of childhood included playing with marbles, climbing trees, riding bicycles and horses, eating home-made bread pudding and memorizing epic poems. As a teenager, she learned Morse code watching her father run the local telegraph office, and made countless friends on line. When she came of age, she joined the staff of the telegraph office in Chihuahua and later transferred to Ciudad Juarez where she would build her life. At work, she was known for her integrity and sense of justice and equality. Among friends, she was known as a fearless feminist. At home, she devoted her time and energy raising her two boys and molding them into good men. After retiring, she spent her days gardening, collecting dolls, and taking long evening walks. Later in life she moved to El Paso so she would be safe and closer to her children. She died peacefully after a long battle with dementia which tried, unsuccessfully, to take her dignity away. She will forever live in our minds and hearts and at night, amidst the breeze of spring and fall, we will hear her Morse-coded messages of love. The family of Carolina asks that, in lieu of flower, donations be made to the Carolina Flores Morales Scholarship Fund at the University of Texas at El Paso.
