Estha A. Flores

Estha Annalene Flores, 92, of Jonesboro, passed away Thursday, March 16, 2017, at St. Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro. Born in Floyd, Ark., in White County, Estha grew up in Searcy. She was living in Cheyenne, Wyo., where she met her husband, Raul Flores, Sr., who was stationed at Laramie Air Force Base. After they married in 1956, the Air Force took them to many states and countries abroad while Raul served over 30 years in the service. After moving to North Little Rock in 1975, Estha worked 15 years for Maybelline Manufacturing in North Little Rock from 1973-1988. Then she and Raul spent several years traveling to many different locations, but mainly to see their grandchildren. They moved to Jonesboro in 2008, and became members of Central Baptist Church, where Estha was a member of the Glorietta Holloway Sunday School Class. Estha was an accomplished seamstress, and enjoyed sewing for her family. In addition to traveling, she enjoyed gardening and family activities — especially spending time with her grandchildren. Estha was known by many as "Ms. Ann." She was preceded in death by her husband, Raul N. Flores, Sr., her parents, Oscar W. and Clara Marada Gaylor Barker; a sister, Mattie Showalter; and a brother, Porter Barker. Survivors include two daughters and sons-in-law: Dialma and Martin Young of Jonesboro, and Patty and Tim Molitor of Bentonville; one son and daughter-in-law: Raul, Jr. and Cynthia Flores of Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.; six grandchildren: Amanda Young, Mason Young, Evan Flores, Anna Flores, Austin Molitor and Alex Molitor; and one great granddaughter, Klylie Ann Harvey.

Burial will follow in Jonesboro Memorial Park with Emerson Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Visitation will be from 2:30 - 3:00 prior to the service. Pallbearers include Raul Flores, Jr., Evan Flores, Martin Young, Mason Young, Tim Molitor and Austin Molitor.
