1982 – 2024
Stephanie Estrada-Hernandez was born on January 25, 1982, in San Antonio, Texas, and passed away on September 8, 2024, in Lytle, Texas, leaving a void no one could ever fill.
Stephanie was the daughter of Mosco and Susana Estrada. She was the middle child among five siblings. She lived in Lytle, Texas, and attended Lytle High School.
She was a devoted mother to Edward JL Hernandez Jr (12) and beloved spouse to Edward Hernandez Sr.
Stephanie is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents Augustine Estrada and Anita Estrada and her father-in-law Jose L. Hernandez-Martinez.
She is survived by her parents Joe (Mosco) Estrada and Susy Estrada, Eric J Estrada (Annette), Kelly Cantu (Mark), Rosanna Estrada (George) and Savannah Smith (Joseph), her spouse Edward Hernandez SR, her son Edward JL Hernandez Jr, stepdaughter Jazmine Hernandez, God-Children Clarissa Cantu and Emery Rice, many nieces, nephews, in-laws, and cousins.
Stephanie will be remembered most for her extraordinary love for her son, whom she called “Songy”. It was her powerful love that carried the family she created. She was the daughter of a truck driver and coincidentally married a bull-hauler. Edward, Songy, and Steph spent a lot of time on the road as truckers.
If you had the honor of meeting Steph, you would never forget her and her contagious laugh. She had a passion for food, scratch tickets, and casinos. She was known to show up to your house with a fearless presence and unique story, leaving you feeling complete. She had the biggest heart and was incredibly generous.
Stephanie was perfect just the way she was. She did not hold anything back. Her witty personality was often mysterious. You never could tell where she was coming from or where she was going. She would be the first to tell you when you were wrong and at the same time her advice was honest and given when you needed it the most. Stephanie was going to do what Stephanie wanted to do and nothing held her back. Stephanie will be missed dearly.
