Janie E. Hernandez

Janie Elizabeth Hernandez, 67, of McKinney, Texas, went to be with our Lord and Savior on Thursday March 4 ^th after losing her battle with pancreatic cancer. She was surrounded by her children at the time of her passing. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and loyal friend to many.

She was born on June 7 ^th , 1953 to Lucio Valdez and Guadalupe Reyes Valdez in San Antonio Texas. She was raised by her mother, grandmother, and many uncles and aunts in San Antonio. She graduated from Sidney Lanier High School in 1972. Afterwards, she went to Incarnate Word College to study nursing. Janie married Ralph J. Hernandez in 1974, and they moved to Dallas in 1976. They had 3 children: Lisa, Adam, and Marc and settled in Plano, TX.

Janie’s passion for her family, her children, her grandchildren, and her friends knew no bounds. She had the biggest heart and was always willing to help anyone in need. She never met a stranger. She loved family gatherings, whether it was a simple cookout, holiday celebrations, or watching the big game. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, and they loved spending time with their Lita! She never missed an event when it came to her extended family, and she was a second mom to many.

Janie is preceded in death by her parents, Lupe Alaniz and Humberto Alaniz. She is survived by her brother Humberto Alaniz Jr; her children Lisa McKinney and her husband Danny, Adam Hernandez and his fiancé Shannon, Marc Hernandez and his wife Jillian; and her grandchildren Grayson, Jaxson, Logan, Rhys, and Landry.

She will be greatly missed but will live on forever in our hearts and memories.
