On the morning of Tuesday, September 10, 2024, Lydia, a beacon of kindness and love, left this world too soon. She was born on May 3, 1977, in Lubbock, Texas, to Juan Garcia and Alesia Miller. Later in life on March 15, 2015, she went on to marry Robert Hernandez in Lubbock cherishing numerous years of a loving marriage before he preceded her in death. She showed abundant compassion throughout her life, always volunteering to help anyone in need. Lydia found joy in simple pleasures. She had a knack for making jewelry that sparkled as brightly as her personality. Her love for music, particularly Christian melodies, filled her heart with peace and content. Cooking was another of her cherished hobbies, where she would often create meals that brought her family together. Lydia had a special fondness for monkeys and adored her collection of stuffed animals, each representing a fragment of her playful and loving nature.Family was paramount to Lydia, and her greatest joy came from spending time with them, especially her six beloved grandchildren. They were the sunshine in her life, and she cherished every moment shared with them.
