Maria Hernandez, 80, of Bristol, Connecticut, formerly of Morovis, Puerto Rico, passed away peacefully on September 8, 2025. She was born on August 15, 1945, in Morovis.

A devout believer, she and her late husband, Marcelino Hernandez, dedicated much of their lives to missionary work, traveling together to spread the gospel. She was passionate about her faith, and her heart for others was evident in the way she lived her life.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, she provided endless love and comfort to her family. She took special joy in being a caretaker for her grandchildren, and her home was always filled with warmth, laughter, and the aroma of her cooking. She loved to cook, clean, and sing, and her smile and contagious laugh brought light to everyone around her.

She is survived by her three children, Rebecca Hernandez, Samuel Hernandez, and Judy Hernandez, as well as her cherished nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She will be remembered for her big heart, unwavering faith, and the love she shared with so many.

Services will be announced by the family.
