Lucia Olga Hernandez (Cia), 80, of El Paso, beloved mother and grandmother, died Sunday, January 17, 2021, at home with her family. She was born December 17, 1940 to Enrique and Valentina Acosta in El Paso, Texas.
Lucia graduated from Austin High School in 1959. She married Enrique ‘Henry’ Hernandez on July 3, 1963; he preceded her in death after 54 years of marriage. As an active member of St. Raphael Parish, she volunteered with its chapter of St. Vincent de Paul. During her children’s schooling at St. Joseph’s Elementary, she was an involved volunteer working as a yard lady & multiple activities for the school. She enjoyed traveling to visit family, friends, and historical sites. Her hobbies included stained glass, painting, crafting, and playing guitar. The consideration she gave to others was apparent in the gracious way she would attend to your simplest needs, like always being sent off with a homemade burrito when leaving on a trip. Her guileless soul touched many people throughout her life. She was a mother figure to all those in need.
Lucia, better known as “mom” and “Grandma Cia” will be missed dearly by many, but her husband is surely happy to see her again. Surviving Lucia are her four sons: Enrique Jr. (Anita), Daniel, Jaime (Mary), and Carlos; eight grandchildren Andrea, Diego, Jaime, Jacob, Esteban, Pablo, Ava Lucia, and Charlotte; two brothers Henry and Alfonso Acosta and one sister Eva Sanchez.
