Flora Collazo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Foran Funeral Home - Summit on Dec. 6, 2025.
We celebrate the life of Flora C. Collazo (née Crespo), who graced this earth for 95 years and passed away on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

She was the dearest and devoted wife of Amado Collazo for 66 years, until his passing in September 2018. Loving mother of Sonja (Miguel) Gonzalez and the late Luis (late Vicki) Negron. Cherished grandmother/Wela of Leo (Jessica), Vincente, and Marina, and adored great-grandmother/Ah of Leo and Ziamara. Flora will be lovingly missed by her sister-in-law, Candi Collazo Baez. She was preceded in death by her parents, Balbino and Juana Crespo, and by her sister. She leaves behind nieces, nephews, extended family, and many dear family friends who will forever hold her memory close.

Flora's grace, enthusiasm, love of life, and unconditional devotion to her family will continue to inspire everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. To know her was to love her. She will be deeply missed, always loved, and forever remembered. We thank everyone who loved her, visited her, prayed for her, or cared for her throughout her long and beautiful life. May her memory be a blessing, and may her light continue to guide us.
