It is with deep sorrow and profound love that we announce the passing of Diana Graciela Hernandez on March 20, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. Diana was a devoted mother, loving wife, fearless nurse, retired disabled veteran, and an inspiration to all who knew her. Her legacy of compassion, strength, and kindness will continue to touch the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Diana was born on March 25, 1986, in Port Lavaca, Texas, to Otilia Gonzalez and Reynaldo Hernandez. From a young age, she exhibited a deep sense of duty and an unwavering commitment to helping others, qualities that would shape her life’s work. Upon graduating, Diana answered the call to serve her country by enlisting in the Army, where she proudly served for four years. After her military service, she continued her dedication to helping others by earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio. For over 11 years, she worked as a registered nurse, offering care and comfort to countless patients, including working on the front lines in New York City during the COVID pandemic. Her bravery, selflessness, and deep empathy shined brightly in every role she took on, whether as a nurse, a soldier, or a mother.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Diana embraced life with joy and passion. She loved spending time with family, tending to her many plants, shopping, cooking, traveling, and hosting unforgettable gatherings. She welcomed everyone into her home with open arms, sharing her warmth, kindness, and love. She was known for her boundless generosity, always offering a helping hand, a warm meal, or a comforting presence to anyone in need.
