Elsie Hernandez Obituary
November 30, 1932 – July 5, 2025
Elsie Louise Hernandez, 92, of Hemet, California, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, July 5, 2025, at 3:33 PM, surrounded by her loving family.
Elsie was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend whose strength, warmth, and unwavering love defined her life. She shared 44 beautiful years of marriage with her late husband, Salvador Zarco Hernandez, and together they built a legacy rooted in faith, family, and kindness.
Born on November 30, 1932, Elsie lived a full and vibrant life. She was known for her deep compassion, unshakable spirit, and the special way she made everyone around her feel valued and loved. Whether it was in her home, church, or community, Elsie touched the lives of all who knew her.
She is survived by her four sons, five daughters, and many beloved grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family-all of whom were blessed by her enduring care and nurturing presence.
Elsie found joy in the simple pleasures of life-spending time with family, listening to music, caring for her home, and sharing her wisdom. She was a faithful woman who lived her values daily and whose legacy will continue to inspire generations.
Elsie enjoyed life to the fullest and never passed up an opportunity for fun. She especially loved spending time at the casinos, where she lit up the slot machines with her laughter, charm, and quiet hope for a lucky spin. Whether she won or lost, it was always about the experience and the memories made along the way.
In memory of Elsie's life, the family kindly asks that any charitable donations be made to Elsie Hernandez, 200 Mary Lane, Hemet, California 92543.
Elsie will be deeply missed by her family, friends and all who knew her.
