Darlene Raquel Flores, 38, of Cincinnati, OH passed away Friday, February 3, 2023 in a tragic incident involving her and her two sons: Eric Johnson Jr. and Rodrigo Johnson. She was born September 28, 1984 in Los Angeles, CA to Raul Flores and Norma Garcia. Darlene was a loving and selfless person. She cared about her community and tried to be a beacon of light for the kids in her neighborhood. Her house was always open to her kid’s friends, to make sure they were taken care of and their bellies were always full. She loved her family dearly and she always made them her top priority. She was a true matriarch. She was known for having a green thumb, and she loved caring for plants inside and outside her home. Darlene also loved beauty and her skin care routine was unmatched. She always had beautiful skin and made sure her nails were on point. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Iyla Johnson, and her sons: Eric Johnson Jr. and Rodrigo Johnson. Darlene is survived by her loving parents: Michael and Norma Ryan, her beloved siblings: Daniel Flores, Vanessa Ryan, Kathlene Grider (Chris), Justin Ryan and Kyle Ryan, and numerous loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Together for eternity

Darlene thank you for your friendship and encouragement when I needed it most. Although you aren’t here on earth I will always remember your awesome smile and that contagious laugh of your. You have touched so many people on earth I can only imagine how much more amazing heaven is with you and your family together for eternity.

Forever Missed!

Darlene was my bff at West High. We were together almost everyday back then. As friends for over 20 years, we sure did share lots and lots of laughs! It’s an odd feeling not being able to reach out to chat about life, makeup and all the other random things we talked about. I really am going to miss you my friend! Sending my deepest condolences to the family.


Our Deepest Condolences

There are truly no words to take away your pain other than you are in our prayers. With our faith in God we learn our lost loved ones are in His care. With prayer we learn God will ease our numbness and mend our broken hearts. We will continuously pray for you, your families and friends during this most difficult time.

Sincerely,
Buddy & Clare

We will miss you

My beautiful cousin,
Thought you were far we spoke often, I will miss laughing with you whether it be from CF post or the dumb things we see on social media. I will miss our conversations regarding raising boys, but I will also cherish the memories and am grateful I got to build that bond with you.

Kathleen and Aunt Norma,
I’m so sorry
