Santa Linda Flores was born to Santos Trevino Conteres and Alice Conteres in Bradenton, Florida on October 11, 1961. Her dad was from Corpus Christi, Texas and her mom was from Premont, Texas. She had two siblings named Rose Marie Alejandro and Joseph Trevino Contreras.
Growing up, Linda attended schools around the district of Manatee County. She met her husband Fernando Flores at a young age. They rode on the bus together in kindergarten, and her husband said she had beautiful black hair that swoon him off his feet. It wasn't until they were 15-16 years old when they began dating. They were married for 48 years, a journey that blessed them with 4 kids, 20 grandkids, and 4 great grandchildren.
