Vangie Cruzita Flores Duran

Vangie Cruzita Flores Duran passed away on Wednesday, June 2, 2021.

She is now reunited in Heaven with her mom "Lulu", father, and grandmother. They are all watching over us, guiding us in life.

She is survived by her son Dion Duran.

She was born May 3, 1966 in Española, New Mexico and raised in Chimayo, New Mexico. She and her two sisters were very close. They were together through thick and thin. She loved all her family so very much, especially her son. Somethings that she would always say were “ Viva la vida loca”, “ Yerba mala nunca muere” and “ Tengo 7 vidas como un gato”. Her family will always remember her saying those words. Everyone that knew her would know that she was a very happy, loud, and caring person. She loved listening to music, singing, dancing, but always with her half pint in her hand saying “salud” with a very joyful face.

She has left her family here in this world with full of memories.
