Tirza

Hernandez

Tirza Hernandez, 92, entered eternal rest on July 25, 2024, in Harlingen, Texas. Tirza was born in Santa Rosa, Texas on July 5, 1932, to her loving mother, Brigida Perez.

Tirza was a migrant worker in her early years. She was the last survivor of her generation, a testament to her strength and perseverance. Tirza was a lifelong parishioner of St. Mary's Catholic Church. She spent most of her time gardening and playing with her beloved furbabies. She was a fantastic cook and would often make yummy meals for her pets. She loved to live life her way, no matter the opinions of other people. Most notably, Tirza was an independent woman who commanded the attention of any room she stepped foot in. Her strong sense of character will forever be remembered by those whose lives she touched.

She is preceded in death by her son, Eleazar "Alex" Gonzalez.

Her memory will live on in her son, Joe (Carmen) Hernandez; grandchildren, Joanna (Mando Valdez) Hernandez, Bridgette (Don) Hernandez Castillo, and Eleazar Gonzalez Jr.; several great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

Visitation will take place on July 27, 2024, from 10:00 am to 12:30 pm at Trinity Funeral Chapel in Harlingen, Texas. Funeral service will be conducted at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Santa Rosa, Texas at 1:00 pm. Interment will follow at Santo Nombre Cemetery in Santa Rosa, Texas.
