Jacqueline Marie Hernandez

Jacqueline Marie Hernandez passed away at the age of 45 on July 26, 2009, at her home in Des Moines. Jackie was born August 5, 1963 in Hiawatha, Kansas. She was united in marriage to the love of her life, Santiago Hernandez on February 14, 1988.
Jackie enjoyed spending time with her family and raising her five beautiful children. When she did work outside the home, she was a licensed CNA and was active as the Director of WeeCare Center for five years. She was also a member of Union Park Baptist Church where she volunteered in various activities. Jackie preferred to be a stay at home mom and enjoyed all the time she could with her husband and kids. In her free time, she enjoyed gardening, reading many books, watching soap operas and giving the best advice anyone could ask for. She was an amazing person who will be thought about daily. Jackie and her husband dedicated time to being foster parents in which they adopted Christina (4) and Justin (3). Jackie was a very caring person who always put others first. She was a loving person whose love will continue to show through family and friends. Although it feels as if she was taken away too soon, we now have her watching us from above.
Jackie is survived by her husband, Santiago; son, Jason Taylor and his wife, Jennifer of Gretna, NE; daughters, Diona and Christina; and sons, Jaime and Justin, of the home; parents, Jackie and Shirley Thomason of Sprague, NE; grandmother, Dorothy Hutcherson of Sprague, NE; sisters, Pam (Chris) Ziegler of Plattsburg, MO and Vicki (Mark) Davidson of Lincoln, NE; grandchildren, Ayden, Kaylee and Chase Taylor; and nephews and nieces, Logan and Shelby Ziegler, Shane and Sydney Davidson; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
