She graduated from Thomas Edison High School with the class of 1989 in San Antonio before receiving her Associates Degree from Howard College. On Aug. 21, 1999, Priscilla married her true love, Ruben Hernandez, in San Antonio. The couple were the proud parents of two children. The majority of her career was spent at Midland Classical Academy. She was a member of Mid-Cities Community Church and was a strong, faithful woman. She dedicated her life to creating a nurturing, godly family. She was a friend to all. Her vivacious love for life was an inspiration to everyone who knew her. She was quick to find the good in those around her and had a gift for pulling it out. She was not one to mince words, but would speak the truth in love. Her smile lit up the room as it emanated from the inside. Priscilla's life was a reflection of these verses in Matthew 22:37-39, "Love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment." And the second is like it: "Love your neighbor as yourself." Priscilla was a loyal friend through life's ups and downs. Her strong faith in God carried her with dignity and grace throughout her life.
