Patricia Gertrude Flores Shuck, 76, of West Lafayette, Indiana, passed away on January 1, 2024 at IU Arnett Hospital, in Lafayette, Indiana. She was born on January 14, 1947, in Los Angeles, California, to the late Joe and Carmen (Randolph) Flores. Patricia was a loving and giving person who always would put friends and her family first before anything else. She loved to learn and practice the Word of the Lord and her goodness and selflessness was reflective of putting others first and doing what she could for those around her and bringing joy to her family and friends. Her passion was to spend time with her family, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Patricia was also lover of many things: reading, good Mexican food-especially ordering the Tex Mex platter from Christos in West Lafayette. She also enjoyed a good burger and fries, flowers, nature, driving, science fiction and action movies, journaling, shopping, going to parks, cooking shows, and a lover of all different kinds of music. She loved to take pictures. However, she was famous for telling everyone that she hated having her picture taken. There are actually pictures of her blocking the camera as far back as 40 years ago, but she loved taking pictures and often carried a camera around with her.
