Isabella Flores, 61, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away on Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. She was born Oct. 11, 1958, in San Angelo where she lived her entire life. Quick witted and sharp tongued, Bella was known for her brutal honesty. Family meant everything to her. She especially adored her daughter and granddaughter, both who were constantly showered with her words of encouragement and praise. Bella made the most of what she had and created lasting memories by always living in the moment with the ones she loved. Her daughter, Pamela, recalls random hot summer days in her childhood going on day trips to Ballinger, Junction, San Antonio, wherever in Texas, and staying in a hotel for the luxury of a swimming pool, watching premium cable and going out to dine somewhere new and different. Another fond memory Pamela recalls happened during the span of a few years when she and her mother attended Saturday Mass at St. Mary’s Church. After church, Bella cranked up the radio to a station that played oldies tunes and the two cruised the streets of San Angelo well past sunset. They enjoyed each other’s company, and for Pamela it was a special time of serenity she looked forward to every week. Bella loved rock n roll. She loved attending concerts and sharing her vast wealth of music knowledge. She enjoyed reading, and instilled literacy from a young age in her daughter and granddaughter. Her fondness for words made for contentious Scrabble games at the dinner table. Despite physical distance between her daughter and granddaughter, Bella found ways to stay in touch and play games with them by going digital. Her uncle Chayo and mother Mary instilled a hard work ethic in her through their upbringing. Every job she had, she worked with dedication and devotion. She worked 24 years in production at R.G. Barry Corporation, and the last 13 years doing customer service at Walmart. Flores is survived by her daughter, Pamela Zamudio and husband Justin of Round Rock, granddaughter Christina Zamudio of Round Rock, mother Mary Flores of San Angelo, and much extended family. She is preceded in death by her uncle, Eliseo “Chayo” Flores, and daughter Esperanza “Hope” Flores. A rosary service will be at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, 2019, at Johnson’s Funeral Home. A funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, 2019, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church with Father Joey Faylona as the celebrant. Burial will follow at 11 a.m. at Calvary Cemetery. The family expresses gratitude to Dr. Carl Anderton and staff at the Coumadin Clinic, and her friends at Walmart. Family and friends may sign an online guestbook at www.johnsons-funeralhome.com

Edna Mozelle Vandever, 94, left this earthly life for her eternal heavenly home on Tuesday, October 15, 2019. The third child of Samuel Edgar “Dash” and Beulah Fannie “Birdie” Yeager, Mozelle was born June 13, 1925 in Knox City, TX. She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Lyston Lionel Van Dever, sister, Nina Vandever and nephew, Jerry Van Dever. She is survived by niece, Mozelle Lamesa and husband Carment of Williams, OK, cousins Bonnie Bell Perkins of Roanoke, VA, and Gladene Green of Benjamin, TX, Carrie Shae of Copper Canyon, TX, and great niece, Lynette Freeman of Reno, NV. Her father was a carpenter and share cropper. The family always had cats that were beneficial for the farm. Therefore, Mozelle was an advid cat lover all of her life. Mozelle lived in Knox City, O’Brian, Rule, Dimmitt, Goree, Olney, Seymour, Memphis, Sherman and then San Angelo, TX. Mozelle was a dedicated employee of General Telephone from 1946 to 1987. Initially, Mozelle worked for Southwestern Associated Telephone Company, wholly owned by GTE in Goree, Texas, as the telephone company agent. She was the “face of the telephone company” and responsible for virtually everything. Mozelle’s expertise in the Commercial Department was teaching employees commercial practices. While traveling to various sites, she made many friends as a positive influence on all. Her last contribution was helping Mr. Elmer Danner, President of GTE, write the history of the telephony in the Lone Star State. Mozelle was an active member of the Business and Professional Women’s Association. She wrote excellent newsletters for BPW and the GTE Pioneer Clubs. As a volunteer at the Fort Concho Telephone Museum, Mozelle demonstrated the Magneto Switch Board. Mozelle joined First Baptist, San Angelo in 1960 and devoted her love and time in the children’s area for many years. Mozelle began her “faith walk” with Jesus Christ at age 9. Her faith touched countless people as she opened her heart, home and time in service and friendship. Mozelle’s Memorial Service will be held at 3:30, Friday, October 18, at First Baptist Church, San Angelo, Texas. The special music will be by Monte Maxwell; service lead by Pastors Vince Smith and Charles Smith, and special friend and GTE representative John Hancock.
