Mary C Hernandez

Mrs. Mary C. Hernandez, 78, our beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, entered into the glory of her eternal life on Saturday, June 29, 2013 at Valley Baptist Medical CenterBrownsville surrounded by her loving family.

A native and lifetime resident of Brownsville, Mary was a devoted wife and mother. Mary loved to bake and cook but her true passion was spending time in her garden. Mary was a true friend to many acting as their unofficial social worker and as a chauffeur to those who didnt or couldnt drive any more. Mary was also a diehard Dallas Cowboy fan. Mary was a dedicated and faithful employee for the BISD working as a teachers assistant for 25 years at Longoria Elementary. After her retirement, she still continued to touch the lives of many by working as a substitute teacher.

A devout Catholic, Mary was a founding member of Holy Family Parish where she was very active in numerous church organizations and also served as a Eucharistic Minister. Mary was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed not only by her family and friends but by all those fortunate to have known her and been a part of her life.

Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Raymundo Hernandez Jr. her mother, Irene Almaguer and a brother, Jorge Loera.

Left behind to eternally treasure their memories of her are the three sons that she was so proud of: Raymundo Ray Monica III, George Lucy, and Israel Riley Grace Hernandez and the eight grandchildren that were her pride and joy: Ray Austin, Christian Joel Ashley, Isla Marie, Rica Rae, Samantha Joy, Isaiah Caine, Emily Alice, and Ava Blair Hernandez and a host of friends.
