"Her laugh is contagious and the stuff that she comes up with that she'll hear me say on the air, and then put her own spin on them, is just priceless," said Pesto, host of My 97.5's morning show.
But last week, Flores called Pesto with some bad news: she tested positive for COVID-19.
Within days, staff at Westgate Gardens and the radio station were able to set up a special event to express their support.
On Thursday, Pesto and his family sang Christmas carols outside Flores' room.
"I feel awesome, I feel like I'm in Hollywood," Flores told Action News after the singing stopped.

Lillian often sees her family members through her window, but says it's not the same.
"Lots of times I feel heartbroken when they have to turn around and leave, and leave me here," she said. "The tears come after they leave but I get over it."
Lillian admits she feels lonely at times.

Pesto's wife Cesca said Thursday's caroling was a teachable moment for their children.
"Gifts aren't just about physically buying something," she said. "And you know, think about others, not just yourself, and just be a good, kind person."
"It's so great to see the community come together and support our residents and Lillian definitely deserves all of the love that she gets this Christmas season as do the rest of the residents," said Westgate Gardens Administrator Benjamin Carter.
Carter says they expect to receive their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in January, and is looking forward to the day that indoor visits can resume.
Lillian says she's feeling good and is close to recovering from the coronavirus.
