Genaveba Flores Garza

Genaveba (Genny) Flores Garza, went to be with her Lord and Savior on April 2, 2025, at the age of 88 surrounded by her cherished family and friends. Born on July 6, 1936, in Victoria, Texas, Genny lived her life with grace, kindness, and a deep commitment to her family. For thirty years, Genny held prayer meetings at her house on Friday nights, welcoming anyone who needed comfort or support. Her door was always open for those looking for someone to pray with, and to share their worries with. She found joy in spending Sundays with her family, creating beautiful memories together.

In her spare time, Genny loved sewing and baking, making lovely presents for her friends and family. One of her favorite pastimes was watching “Wheel of Fortune,” where she enjoyed guessing the words along with the contestants. She cherished long phone conversations with her sisters, sharing stories and laughter that brought them closer together.

Genny’s warm heart and welcoming spirit made her home a place of joy and peace for all who visited. Whether through prayer, family gatherings, or simple conversations, she always brought happiness into the lives around her.

She is also survived by her 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and her 6 great-great-grandchildren. Each of them carries a piece of her legacy, embodying the love and strength she instilled in them.
