    Flora J. Edwards

    July 24, 1930 - February 1, 2022

    Celebrating the Life, Love, and Legacy of Flora Jiron Edwards. Flora J. Edwards, passed away peacefully early Tuesday, February 1, 2022. She was born on July 24, 1930 to the late Mauricio and Edulia Jiron. Flora accepted Christ at an early age and dedicated her life to the Lord. She did her best cooking and serving at the church social gatherings, excelled in fund raising, meticulously cleaned the chapel/classrooms, sewed drapes, and enjoyed working with youth. In 2008, Flora was a founding member of the “Living Springs Baptist Church” (The Springs). The officiating pastor, Dr. Harold Taylor (deceased), and son Paul, layed the ground work to purchase the building. Five ladies played a major role to raise funds for the mortgage, landscaping, purchase of pews and carpet. Their efforts were a blessing. Besides being involved in church, Flora also enjoyed tending her garden, entertaining family and friends, shopping for antiques and holding Bible Studies in her home. Flora earned the respect, trust, and love not only of family, but close friends and community. Flora was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William Henry Edwards, and her eldest son, Elias Lara Jr. She leaves to cherish her sweet memories: a loving son, Bob Lara, daughter: Julia Lara Newberry, two step- daughters: Elinda Edwards, Betty Edwards, two sisters: Bertina Lovato, Mary Alvarado, brother: Morris Jiron (Della). Treasured memories will also be shared by her many grandsons, granddaughters, great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Flora has the love and respect, not only of family, but close friends and community with her tireless devotion to help others. She is an angel in her heavenly home, but will be missed here on earth. A Memorial Service will take place on Sunday, February 27, 2022, at 12:15 p.m. at The Springs Baptist Church, 11503 Big Mesa San Antonio, Texas 78245 Officiating: Pastor: George Ramirez Assistant Pastor: Mario Campos Graveside Service: Monday, February 28, 2022 at 9:30 a.m. Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery Pall Bearers: Dan Lara Scott Lara Douglas Silva Steve Edwards Dax Newberry Justin Newberry In lieu of flowers we would appreciate a monetary contribution to The Springs Baptist Church.
