Flor de Oro Trujillo, Whose Father Led Dominican Republic
By Rudy Johnson
"Flor de Oro Trujillo, daughter of the late leader of the Dominican Republic, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, died of cancer Wednesday at Beth Israel Hospital. She was 62 years old and had made her home at 325 East 79th Street. Miss Trujillo, who had lived in Manhattan for about 12 years, was exiled from her own country after her father's assassination in 1961. In 1943 she was appointed first secretary of the Dominican Republic's Embassy in Washington. She was promoted later to the office of minister‐adviser, with duties that were said to have revolved around cultural relations between the United States and the Dominican Republic. On achieving the higher post, Miss Trujillo said in an interview: "I must deserve it. I wasn't proud to be first secretary because my father just put me there to make me do something. He does that much for everyone in the family. But he never promotes anyone who doesn't deserve it."
Close friends here said that Miss Trujillo's relationship with her father had not always been the friendliest. She was said to have once written an article that criticized his dictatorial policies. " I love Trujillo, my father," she was quoted as having said, "but I am against Trujillo, the President."
Born in San Cristobal to the first of her father's three wives, Miss Trujillo was educated in Paris and was married nine times. She was first married, at the age of 17, to the late Porfirio Rubirosa, who was then also marrying for the first time. In recent years, Miss Trujillo. was said to have been cut out of an inheritance of the millions of dollars left by her father and had been reportedly sustained by friends.
A year ago, she was married to her last husband, George Farquar, an engineering salesman. Miss Trujillo was to be buried Saturday in Santo Domingo. In addition to her husband, she is survived by a brother, Rhadames, and a sister, Angelita, both of Florida."
