Bertha Campa Flores
February 10, 1927 — December 14, 2017
Bertha Campa Flores, 90, was born on February 10, 1927 in Mexico to Alfonso Campa and Eloisa Valdez and entered into eternal rest on December 14, 2017 in Downey, California.
Bertha was a domestic multitasker, making her home a loving and nurturing environment for her family and loved ones for over 70 years. She will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her dearly.
Bertha was the third daughter of 13 brothers, she was born in a circus family. She was a very hard-working girl, instead of studying, she preferred to help her mother. She learned several acts of the circus, among them, pinwheel, acrobats, rope. She did a variety of things. She sang but her strength was contortion.
In 1946 she was married Ernesto Flores, together they continued to work in a circus named Mr. Davenport, then the Campa family formed their own circus which was named Campa Bros. In which they worked for a while. In 1952, they had their first son, Alvaro Flores, then they decided to live in the city of Mexico, where there they established their home, and a year later in 1955, their second daughter, Alma Rose Flores was born. They continued to live happily, visiting their family and friends of circus. Bertha was a great daughter, great mother, great wife, grandmother, sister and over all a great human being. That everyone loved and will continue to love her for eternity.
