Maria Esther Hernandez

Maria pursued a higher education in Mexico before settling in Texas. She raised her family and settled in Grand Prairie where she worked in manufacturing. Maria valued 2 above all: God and her family. She was a strong woman of God and taught her children to be faithful. She had a compassionate and giving heart and made the best tamales in Texas. She enjoyed spending time baking cookies with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Maria was always there when you had a problem and loved giving advice. She was dearly loved by all her children, grandchildren and especially her great-grandchildren who saw her as a second mom and not just a grandma.
