Isabel Hernandez

Isabel enjoyed gardening, reading, scrap booking, DIY projects and loved to dance.  But most important to her were her children and grandchildren.  She was a great supporter of all their activities and could be found on the sidelines of their sporting events.

Isabel is survived by her daughters, Yolanda (Doug) Gill, of Ridgeville Corners, Michelle (Keith) Trubey, of Bryan, Gina (Scott) Elick, of El Paso, Texas; son, Michael Gonzalez, of Defiance; 15 grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren and sister, Ofelia (Armando) Tijerina, of Harlingen, Texas.  She was preceded in death by her parents, a sister and 7 brothers.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, November 15, 2023 from 4:00-6:00 P.M. at Krill Funeral Home, 860 West Mulberry Street, Bryan. Funeral services will follow at 6:00 P.M. with Reverend Andrew Wellmann officiating.  She will be laid to rest at Fountain Grove Cemetery in a private ceremony.

The family requests memorial donations be directed to the Alzheimer’s Association.
