Delia Sotomayor de Hernandez was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on November 8, 1929 and passed peacefully following her illness on August 30, 2025 just shy of her 96th birthday in Atlanta, Georgia. A resident of Lilburn since 2007, her pride and joy was her family. A love for music, her Puerto Rican heritage and Catholic faith, filled her heart and her favorite phrase was "I love you this much" with arms opened wide.

She is survived by her daughter, Miriam; and son, Juan Ramon; son-in-law, Steve; daughter-in-law, Janet; her grandchildren, Patricia and Hallee; grandsons-in-law, Kevin and Pedro; great­ grandchildren, Taylor, Monica, Isaac, Eli, Grant, Vincent and Iliana; and great-great granddaughter, Luna.

Delia was predeceased by her husband, Ramon Hernandez Ramos; and great-grandson, Rhys Spengler.

Delia was the eldest of 5 siblings to Luisa Alvarez Zamora and Juan Sotomayor Gonzalez. A homemaker with a gentle demeanor, she was the rock upon which a 58-year marriage firmly stood. Humble, kind and compassionate, she was loved and admired by all who met her.

A Celebration of Life Memorial Mass to be held at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, Lilburn, GA. Date and time to be announced at a later time.

Condolences may be sent or viewed at www.wagesfuneralhome.com. Tom M. Wages Funeral Service, A Family Company, 3705 Highway 78 West, Snellville, GA 30039 (770-979-3200) has been entrusted with the arrangements.
