Rosa was one of nine brothers and sisters. She was the proud mother of Robert, Caroline, Erby, Amaro, Oscar and Gandy Hernandez and the ever-loving grandmother to Alicia, Leandra, Joseph, Matthew, Nikolas and Jonas. Other survivors include an aunt and great-aunt to numerous nieces and nephews.
Everyone knew her for her fun-loving free-spirit, giving nature and honest but open mind. Her wit would always catch you off guard, but her smile would melt your heart. She will forever be remembered for her enduring strength and her magnanimous character. Although her time to pass came all too quickly, she will forever be in our hearts and prayers, We thank God for the gift of our Rosa and the time we all shared with her.
