Juanita Maria Hernandez

July 5, 1977 - November 11, 2018

Juanita Maria Hernandez passed away peacefully on November 11, 2018 at her home in the company of family and friends after a long battle with cancer. Juanita was born on July 5, 1977 to the late Maria Leticia Negrete and is survived by her father Luis E. Hernandez. Juanita had a zest for life and was pursuing her Bachelor Degree in Nursing. When she was not working or attending her studies, Juanita kept in shape with a daily Crossfit workout and aerobic exercise. She was a caring mother who always put her children needs first. As many of her friends will tell you, her loyalty and compassion were unwavering and her strength to carry others was remarkable. What truly made Juanita unique was her inner beauty was so much more special than her mesmerizing eyes and contagious smile. She fought as only a warrior could up to her last breath…she was a fighter. She will missed by many as her time here on Earth was far too short. She is survived by her siblings, Luis S., Marie, Esmeralda, and Antonio. Her legacy will live on through her three children, Xavier Hernandez, Joshua Johnson, and Iyanah Johnson. She is also survived by numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews. There will be a casual, memorial gathering of family and friends to celebrate her life on Sunday, December 02, 2018 at the Delgado Funeral Chapel from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. Everyone who knew Juanita and her family is welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations to the family would be appreciated.
