Florentina, also known as Flora to many, left us peacefully Monday Jan 31st, 2022 to be with the Lord. She was born in Lyford TX Dec 7th, 1934 and found her forever home in South Haven MI in the late 60s.
Florentina is survived by her loving husband of 74 yrs, Pablo M. Hernandez, 4 sons, Pablo Hernandez Jr(Pat), Raul Hernandez(Wendy), Ruben Hernandez, Guadalupe Hernandez (Sherry); 4 daughters Maria Saucedo(Bonifacio), Ninfa Salazar (Eugenio),Juanita Casillas and Olga Hernandez (Arturo), 27 grandchildren, 49 great grandchildren, and 25 great great grandchildren; 1 sister and many nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by daughter, Malena, 4 brothers, her eldest sister and both parents.
Florentina had a passion for her garden, she never had enough plants. She was the most generous, warm-kind hearted, loving person. Florentina loved being around family, she enjoyed watching baseball and novelas. She also loved sewing and cooking, especially beans and tortillas for the grandchildren. And we cant forget about “thrifty” shopping with her daughters. She had many friends near and far from the years of being a migrant worker. Years could go by and you could just pick up from where you left off. She never turned anyone away. She loved helping, and if you told her no she would find a way to supervise and assist. And as stubborn as she was, she always got her way. Until the very end she put up a fight. Florentina left a mark on everyone she knew and met. She will NEVER be forgotten.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Filbrandt Chapel-Starks Family Funeral Homes and Cremation Services. 269-637-0333.
