Maria A. Hernandez of Seguin Texas was welcomed into our Father’s Heavenly Kingdom on January 3, 2026, at the age of 81. Maria was born to Craciano Almendarez and Adalina Gallegos in Seguin, Texas on October 27, 1944.
Maria was a loving mother and grandmother. She was always there to support her family in any way she could. Some of her grandchildren even claim to be her favorite. The truth was she had a different and special relationship with each of children and grandchildren, that’s why she will be missed dearly. Maria loved music and she loved to dance. She was joyful and had an unforgettable laugh. Maria never thought twice about helping her family with anything they needed. She was never judgmental to anyone but was always willing to pray for you. We will forever cherish the memories we made with her.
