She caught the eye of Genaro Hernandez while walking down the street and they were married January 31, 1954 and spent 49 years in love. In 1975 they moved their family to Houston, Texas and when her children were old enough Dolores and Genaro moved home to Mexico. In 2008 after the loss of her husband Dolores moved to the DFW area to be closer to her family.
Dolores was a devout catholic who taught faith formation when she was young. She believed in spending time with her family and tradition. She always made your favorite meal to let you know how special you were to her and every Christmas season she organized Las Posaditas for the neighborhood. A kind and friendly woman she made time to visit with those who were sick and could be trusted with a secret. She was a beautiful as she was charitable and more crafty than most could hope to be. She spent ample time making Christmas ornaments and other holiday decorations.
To know Dolores was to love her. She enjoyed playing games with her neighbors so much she had a no phone call time every weekend after 5pm. She would simply step outside and shake a can to alert the neighbors it was loteria time. She also enjoyed bingo, cooking and baking.
Dolores is survived by; daughter Maria De Los Angeles Sanchez and her husband, Jose Angel; son Juan Manuel Hernandez and his wife, Martha Laura; son Javier Hernandez and his wife, Laura Rosalinda; daughter Dora Elia Cardoza and her husband, Sergio Manuel; grandchild Gustavo, Edgar, Karla, Claudia, Laura, Martha, Mizael, Lesly, Nancy, Yadira, Sergio; great grandchild: Iker, Patricio, Stephanie, Andrea, Kevin, Zack, Annabel, Matthew, Ayden, Axl, Jayleen, Gionni, Dylan, Jayden and Chase.
