Publish in a newspaper

María Hernández, un faro de amor y bondad, falleció en paz el 5 de noviembre de 2025 en Ontario, California, rodeada del cariño de su amada familia. Nacida el 8 de junio de 1930 en Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico, la vida de María, a sus 95 años, estuvo marcada por una dedicación inquebrantable a su familia, una vida llena de actos bondadosos y un corazón generoso sin límites.
La historia de María comenzó en los pintorescos paisajes de Zacatecas, donde cultivó su espíritu de generosidad y compasión. Desde joven, también desarrolló una profunda fe católica que la acompañó durante toda su vida. Era una mujer devota que encontraba fortaleza en la oración diaria, ofreciendo plegarias constantes por su familia, sus seres queridos y quienes necesitaban de ella. Su vida fue un testimonio del poder del amor, la fe y la fortaleza de los lazos familiares.
Matriarca de una familia numerosa y llena de vida, la presencia de María era fuente de consuelo y alegría. Su amado esposo, Gregorio Hernández, junto con sus hijos Francisco Hernández y Perfecto Hernández, quienes la precedieron en la muerte, sin duda la recibieron con los brazos abiertos en el siguiente capítulo de su viaje eterno. La vida de María fue un hermoso mosaico de momentos dedicados a cuidar, enseñar y amar a quienes la rodeaban.
El legado de María perdura a través de sus 15 hijos: José Cruz Hernández, Rafael Hernández, María Gallegos, Gregorio Hernández, Elidia Valencia, Miguel Hernández, Jaime Hernández, Armando Hernández, Nina Hernández, María "Baby" Caldera, Irma Hernández, Yolanda Hernández, Jenny Villa, así como sus hijos ya fallecidos Francisco Hernández y Perfecto Hernández. Fue una luz guía para su familia, incluyendo a sus 44 nietos y 66 bisnietos, quienes atesorarán por siempre la sabiduría y la ternura que les transmitió.
Cada reunión familiar se volvía especial con su presencia, y cada comida compartida era un recordatorio de su espíritu generoso. Sus deliciosas tortillas hechas a mano, tamales y buñuelos, preparados con amor y dedicación, eran famosos en la familia y siempre esperados con anhelo. Ese aroma, ese sabor y la manera en que reunían a todos alrededor de la mesa permanecerán como uno de los recuerdos más cálidos de su hogar.
La vida de María no solo se definió por su papel como madre y abuela, sino también por su naturaleza bondadosa y considerada. Amigos, vecinos e incluso desconocidos se conmovieron con su generosidad. Su capacidad para escuchar con el corazón abierto, ofrecer palabras de aliento y pensar siempre en los demás antes que en sí misma definía la esencia de quien era.
Al despedirnos de María Hernández, celebramos una vida extraordinaria. Ella fue el pilar de su familia, una mujer cuya influencia perdurará por generaciones. Su risa, su cálido abrazo, su amor incondicional y su fe inquebrantable crearon un legado imborrable.
Nos reconforta saber que el espíritu de María vive en los recuerdos que atesoramos, en las historias que seguiremos compartiendo y en el amor que nos une. Su vida fue un regalo para quienes la conocieron, y su memoria será atesorada por siempre.
La vida de María Hernández fue extraordinaria, y su partida deja un vacío irremplazable. Sin embargo, en el corazón de quienes la amaron, su luz seguirá brillando, guiando e inspirando como lo hizo en vida. Le decimos un sentido adiós, sabiendo que su amor y sus oraciones siempre estarán con nosotros, hasta que nos volvamos a encontrar.
María Hernández, a beacon of love and kindness, passed away peacefully on November 5, 2025, in Ontario, California, surrounded by the affection of her beloved family. Born on June 8, 1930, in Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico, María's 95 years of life were marked by unwavering dedication to her family, a lifetime full of kind acts, and a heart with boundless generosity.
María's story began in the picturesque landscapes of Zacatecas, where she cultivated her spirit of generosity and compassion. From a young age, she also developed a deep Catholic faith that accompanied her throughout her life. She was a devout woman who found strength in daily prayer, offering constant petitions for her family, her loved ones, and anyone in need. Her life was a testament to the power of love, faith, and the strength of family bonds.
Matriarch of a large and lively family, María's presence was always a source of comfort and joy. Her beloved husband, Gregorio Hernández, along with her sons Francisco Hernández and Perfecto Hernández, who preceded her in death, no doubt welcomed her with open arms into the next chapter of her eternal journey. María's life was a beautiful mosaic of moments spent caring for, teaching, and loving those around her.
María's legacy lives on through her 15 children: José Cruz Hernández, Rafael Hernández, María Gallegos, Gregorio Hernández, Elidia Valencia, Miguel Hernández, Jaime Hernández, Armando Hernández, Nina Hernández, María "Baby" Caldera, Irma Hernández, Yolanda Hernández, Jenny Villa, as well as her late sons Francisco Hernández and Perfecto Hernández. She was a guiding light for her family, which includes her 44 grandchildren and 66 great-grandchildren, who will forever cherish the wisdom and tenderness she shared with them.
Every family gathering was made special by her presence, and every shared meal was a reminder of her generous spirit. Her delicious handmade tortillas, tamales, and buñuelos-prepared with love and dedication-were famous throughout the family and always eagerly awaited. Their aroma, their flavor, and the way they brought everyone together around the table will remain among the warmest memories of her home.
María's life was defined not only by her role as a mother and grandmother, but also by her kind and thoughtful nature. Friends, neighbors, and even strangers were touched by her generosity. Her ability to listen with an open heart, offer encouraging words, and always think of others before herself defined the essence of who she was.
As we say goodbye to María Hernández, we celebrate an extraordinary life. She was the pillar of her family, a woman whose influence will endure for generations. Her laughter, her warm embrace, her unconditional love, and her unshakable faith created an unforgettable legacy.
We find comfort in knowing that María's spirit lives on in the memories we treasure, in the stories we will continue to share, and in the love that unites us. Her life was a gift to all who knew her, and her memory will be cherished forever.
María Hernández lived an extraordinary life, and her passing leaves an irreplaceable void. However, in the hearts of those who loved her, her light will continue to shine, guiding and inspiring just as it did in life. We bid her a heartfelt farewell, knowing that her love and her prayers will always remain with us, until we meet again.

Mamá, con el corazón lleno de tristeza, desde que se fue siento un vacío inmenso que nada ni nadie podrá llenar. Extraño su risa, sus chistes para hacernos reír. Es un camino difícil de transitar. Cada día su ausencia pesa. Solo encuentro consuelo en los recuerdos que dejó. Aunque sé que usted está en un lugar mejor, mi corazón duele cada vez que pienso en todos los momentos que ya no podremos compartir. Espero que, desde donde esté, pueda sentir el amor y escuchar los pensamientos de todos. Seguiremos recordándola y honrando su memoria.
AMÉN AMÉN
