Mrs. Flecha passed away December 13, 2020 in Tyler.
Jeannette (Crespo) Flecha was born May 13, 1971 in Vineland, New Jersey, the daughter of Nelson Crespo and Abigail (Cintron) Crespo. Jeannie, as endearingly known to her family and friends, was the eldest of three children. She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and soon after moved to Tyler, Texas where she met Eliel Flecha, the love of her life. They married on May 13, 1989 and went on to have two children, Jenissa and Eliel Jr. Jeannie was a loving and selfless mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend. She always had time for her family, was constant in her willingness to help those in need and was accepting of everyone. Her home had a revolving door where you were welcome with a good cup of coffee and a warm embrace. Her aura was nurturing and to be around her was to feel at peace and protected.
Jeannie's family will always remember her apple themed kitchen decor, how she loved a good purse and of course her dog Tiny, that never left her side. She loved listening to music and watching oldies on the weekends.
Jeannie attended Gospel Lighthouse Church in Tyler and worked for Church of God International in Tyler. She was a ray of sunshine who brightened everyone's day. She enjoyed most of all spending time with her son and traveling to Colorado to visit her daughter and grandchildren. Jeannie was a genuine soul who was faithful in prayer and loved the Lord.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Eliel Flecha Cruz.
Survivors include parents, Nelson and Abigail Crespo of Tyler; children, Jenissa Arroyo and husband Danny of Grand Junction, Colorado, Eliel Flecha, Jr. of Tyler; sisters, Abigail “Tata” Crespo II of Tyler, Nancy Crespo-Shackelford of Tyler; grandchildren, Daniel Isaac Arroyo of Grand Junction, Colorado, Viviana Arroyo of Grand Junction, Colorado and numerous nieces and nephews.
Serving as pallbearers will be Nelson Crespo, Danny Arroyo, Jonathan Torres, Shelton Shackelford, Nelson Shackelford, Matthew Shackelford and Luis Rocha.
A visitation will be held Saturday, December 19, 2020 from 3-5:00 p.m. at Chandler Memorial Funeral Home.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted to the Chandler Memorial Funeral Home family.
