Aurora V. Hernandez

Early on the morning of January 10, 2018, our mother “Aurora V. Hernandez” was ushered into the presence of her Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ by heavenly angels. Born Jan 1, 1918, she celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by friends and family at New Forest Estates where she had resided for many years.

She was preceded in death by our father, Eugene C. Hernandez on August 16, 1991, and our brother, Eugene V. Hernandez on December 19, 2003. She is survived by daughters; Dr. Maria Hernandez Ferrier, Rachel H. Jones and husband Harvey Jones, emotionally adopted son Bob Allen and daughter-in-law, Zahra Garza; grand-daughters Laura Winget-Hernandez and husband Kelly Haygood, Cynthia Marshall, Tom Marshall, Amy Jones, grandson Ricardo Ponce and wife Betty, Michael Winget-Hernandez and wife Lelia, Dagan Ferrier and wife Marianne; great-grandsons Stephen Marshall and wife Crystal, Philip Marshall, Michael McKenzie, Daniel Hernandez Haygood, Zack Beck, Alex and Zachary Ferrier; great-grand-daughters Jennifer Munoz and Madeline Beck and great-great grand-daughter Lily Jacobson.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, she grew up in modest but loving family. At age 22 she gave her heart to Jesus whom she would faithfully serve without reservation or apology.

Her incredible life’s journey was filled with notable accomplishments too numerous to mention here. She was a nurse, a teacher, a professor, a missionary, a chaplain, a mentor, a writer, a student of God’s Word, a poet, a wonderful cook, a faithful prayer warrior, and most important to her – a faithful servant with the goal of spreading the Gospel. Only God and eternity will tell the number of lives touched and changed by her labors.

"I give, to Him Who gave Himself for me;

Who gives Himself to me, and bids me sing

A sweet new song of His redeemed set free;

He bids me sing: O death, where is thy sting?

And sing: O grave, where is thy victory?"
