Fanny B. Flores

October 8, 1937 ~ December 28, 2023

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved matriarch, Fanny Flores Anchorena. She departed this life to the encounter of our heavenly Father on December 28, 2023, surrounded by her daughters.

Fanny was born on October 8, 1937 to her loving parents Alfredo Flores and Luzmila Anchorena.

Fanny is preceded in death by her husband Eduardo Vernal and her beloved son Eduardo Vernal Jr., her parents, her sister Isela and abuelita Eusebia. She is survived by her daughters Rosa, Fanny, Ivonne and Annie along with her six adoring grandchildren, sons-in-law, two brothers Wilfredo and Fabio, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.

Fanny graduated from La Normal of Coracora as an elementary teacher. She was a free spirit whose contagious cheerfulness brightened the lives of students and colleagues alike. Her joyous spirit was ever-present, always radiating warmth and joy throughout her life. La “Nona,” as named by her grandchildren, was a firm believer and lived by the principle of placing God first, such a wonderful value that she imparted to her children.

Her legacy of love, faith and service will forever resonate in the hearts of all who knew her, but especially her daughters and grandchildren. Fanny will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her; Fanny’s legacy of strength, love and laughter will continue to inspire us until we meet again.

A funeral Mass was celebrated on January 3, 2024 at Saint Ann Catholic Church. Burial was at West Jordan City Cemetery. Funeral arrangements were by Eternity Funeral Home.
