FEBRUARY 9, 1997 – MARCH 11, 2024
Jolene Leanne Flores was born on February 9, 1997, in Tacoma, Washington. The Lord had different plans for Jolene when she left this world on March 11, 2024.
Jolene is preceded in death by her birth mother Mary Jane Murphy; Grandmothers Barbara Jean Murphy-Beatty, and Emily Beatty; Grandfather Cyrus B. Hatch; Grandparents Jesusa and Albert Flores; and special cousin Jayden Brashears.
She is survived by her parents Jordan and Marilyn Flores along with her daughter Caysa Rose Flores. The siblings Jolene leaves behind are Belinda (Don) Hegnes; Sarina (Dennis Proo), Dominic, Ben, Vanessa, Wayne (Boo), Matt, and Misty Flores; Sarah and Justin Murphy; Josh and Brandon Lloyd. Along with special cousins Celine (Josh), Nicholas and Andrew Flores.
Jolene was a kind, loving, and joyful individual. Coupled with a bright smile and contagious laughter, she was a delight to be around. Jordan and Marilyn adopted and raised Jolene with an immeasurable amount of love and care as one of their own. Her siblings, biological and non-biological, accepted her into this world engulfing her with love. Growing up, Jolene, Celine, Jayden, and Nicholas were inseparable. When they were younger, you could always count on them sharing ice cream during the hot summer days. Jolene’s love overflowed not only to her family but also to animals. She enjoyed spending time at the shelter helping and caring for animals to find them a loving home, even if it was her own. With an innate passion for interior design, Jolene could always make anywhere she lived feel like home. In recent years, Jolene’s enthusiasm for cars led her to become a member of the Modern Mopar’s of Snohomish County Car Club. And in her spare time, you could always find Jo with her family, planning her next vacation, or simply enjoying a day at the ocean with them.
Jolene Leanne Flores will be greatly missed by her numerous aunts and uncles, cousins and extended family, and friends. She will especially be missed by her beloved daughter, Caysa Rose Flores. We can have peace and comfort knowing that Jayden and Jolene have each other in Heaven. A celebration of her life will be held Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 10:00 AM at the Tulalip Gathering Hall with burial to follow at Mission Beach Cemetery.
