Angelina Hernandez Haro, also known as, Mamá, Grams, Abuelita, Nina, Aunt Angie, and Gorda, was born in Reedley, CA on March 6, 1933 to Ynes and Ramona Hernandez. On January 12, 2025, she passed peacefully in her sleep, in the comfort of her home wearing her red “shoes,” just as she had wished. Angelina proudly grew up in Clovis, attending Jefferson Elementary until the 8th grade. In her teens, she worked the fields and ranches of the Central Valley. After losing her mom at the age of 17, she took on her lifetime role as “Mama”, and she helped her papá raise her 4 younger siblings. Courageously, at the age of 65, Angelina returned to school to earn her high school diploma. She enjoyed going to the Azteca movie theater, where she met Silverio, her husband of 67 years. Together, they raised 12 children, 35 grandchildren and fed countless friends and relatives with her fresh flour tortillas that she made daily. Carrying on her mother’s tradition, she always celebrated every child's birthday with a cake. She loved Western movies, novelas, ranchero music, word searches, playing Old Maid, and Rocky Road candy bars. She gave a look that would make you think twice and had a smile that would warm your heart. Her quick wit always kept you on your toes. Above all, she was a great listener and an even greater friend. Her memorable quotes include "Life is what you make it"; "Don't fool around with the boys"; God bless you and keep you safe"; “Say your prayers"; and "No,no,no"; with a pointed finger. Throughout her life, she made monthly donations to various religious and medical charities. She was a loyal parishioner of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. Her faith, countless prayers and daily devotion to the rosary surely helped bring out the best in each of us. We take comfort in knowing that our mama is in Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ and is no longer in pain. We know that she is finally reunited with her papa, mama, siblings and daughter, Anita whom she missed very much. Thank you. The Haro family would like to thank you for all your thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Your gestures of love and kind words are greatly appreciated.
